Details?  What are you seeing that made you aware that they were modified?  FWIW I just got upgraded to 1803 today so did this in PowerShell

cd ~

dir | sort LastWriteTime

and found that  Microsoft Edge.lnk  had changed today but I don't know why...

gi "Microsoft Edge.lnk" | fl *

shows

Target            : {}

but right-click Properties shows what it should really be with Target type.  Strange.

gc  "Microsoft Edge.lnk"   

gets it raw.  I don't know how to format it any better.  A tool that I found on StackOverflow does not help.

FYI

Hello I am a fellow community member here to help. I know this is frustrating. This can happen for many reasons and most usually malware. I would run a full scan with Windows Defender as a first step
