Ok.. so this is not a new problem for me, but I've been able to beat it previously. I have turned off 'suggest app' for most apps that I don't want showing up, as I actually want that menu to be of some use. Although I have more than 8 apps "turned on", randomly the menu will turn into this(see below) garbage, where the blank boxes are default apps like 'tips' that I've deleted from my device altogether, and apps that I have turned off, like 'shortcuts' still appear. If anyone else has dealt with it, is there a way to beat this ridiculous bug? Thanks!
