When using the windows 7 style, it appears that the programs list is using c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and putting an entry in the list for each sub-directory.  However, if there are no executable programs in those sub-directories, the menu entry should not exist.  I have a few empty sub-directories in the Start Menu/Programs directory and those don't appear in the normal Windows Start menu list.

Is this the standard behavior?  If so, is there an option to not show those entries?

This is how Window 7 showed the list as it parsed the subfolders only when opened. If you delete the extra empty folders they will go away or you can enable the option to use the newer all programs list which should be the same as Windows 11.

Windows 11 merges everything together and will only ever show one level of folders maximum.

This is normal and not a bug.

The taskbar icon size control controls the size of Start11 provided items only.
