Favorites will not update

Bug Reports

Ive attempted to rearrange and remove certain apps from my favorites /shortcut list but only uninstalling them will remove them. Ive gone into settings and unchecked for example Spotify both on the fav list and down in the search bar area but once I hit DONE its still there. When I go back to my favorites editting page, it wont show on the top section but when I go searching for it under the alphabet it will be rechecked.

Additionally when I try to sort favorites in the settings section, it will not save. The weird part is that when I re-open settings it will have my preferred order there. But it will not update on my actual interface.

    Thanks for describing what you tried. Removing an app from favorites only takes it out of the favorites section, it stays in the A-Z app list, which is intentional, since that list is how you reach every installed app. So the behavior you saw, gone from the top section but still findable further down, is working as designed.

    If you want an app out of the list as well, there is a separate hide option rather than the favorites checkbox. The steps for both are here: Edit favorites. If an app reappears in your favorites after you removed it, that is a different problem and worth saying here.
