Z Menu (Start Button) Apps

Hi All,
I installed Zorin 8 as soon as it came out and absolutely love it! I am having a problem though. When I install a new application either directly from Software Center or by downloading the deb file and installing via software center, it doesn't show up in the Z Menu (Start Button). It will come up when I search for it; but if i install a game and then click the Z and go to Games, it isn't in there. Can someone please let me know how to have the apps I install automatically show up like it does in Windows?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

did you do a restart?, often newly installed apps won't show until you restart!.

Have you fully updated your system?, see the update guide:

Try this quick update terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t):

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

and do a restart.
