Summary
Windows 10 does not create subfolders on the start menuSynopsis
When creating a shortcut for your installer to be placed in the Start Menu, it is possible to author your installshield project to have subfolders - an example of this can be

Discussion
Windows 10 does not natively support the creation of multiple sub-folders on the start menu and instead employs a single folder structure.
This is expected behavior in Windows 10 due to new concepts that this Operating System follows and it continues the behavior seen in the Start Screen of Windows 8.1
