Can't open .lnk files on Windows 10?

After upgrading to Windows 10 on my Sony VAIO Pro 13 (SVP1321M2EB) I can't open any non-windows-10 apps with their shortcut/link.

 

This goes for all apps on the taskbar, in the start menu and searches. All Windows 10 apps starts fine, but the don't have the .lnk extention when pinned to the taskbar on in the start menu?

 

Only way to launch apps is by right clicking on the shortcut and choose "Open File Location" and then launch the .exe file...?

 

Also when creating shortcuts to files (non-exe) and folders they don't work?

 

This is actually the opposite problem of all post and solutions I've found when searching for an solution? Edge, Mail, Calander, Calculator, Windows Store etc. all launch when clicking their icon, all other apps doesn't (including Control Panel, Command Prompt, PowerShell, etc..)

 

Hope You (The Community) can help me since I can't find anywhere you can contact Sony Support?
