If you are just interested in editing the menu listing as it is presented to you, it is located in the folder:
ProgramdataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms
... on the boot volume.
Note that the folder "Programdata" is a hidden folder so it won't be visible to the
file manager tool under its default configuration. You will need to make the folder visible first before you can access it and the subfolders.
Also note that this doesn't remove any software, the files will still be on the disk.

MS is hiding something. The following procedures works (on windows 10 LTSC 2019), but use it in your danger.
- open an elevated Command Prompt (an Administrative command prompt), copy and paste the following lines (and press return)
set WS=%SystemRoot%SystemAppsMicrosoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy
takeown /f %WS% /r /a > nul
icacls %WS% /reset /t > nul
rmdir /s /q %WS%
