Windows 8.1 Icons Appearing In Launchpad

[Tony Smith]

Hi I was wondering if someone could advise what causes icons to be displayed in launchpad from the windows OS. I have one icon in particular (Java) that appears and although i have uninstalled java i cannot remove it from launchpad. Another icon just appeared tonight and I'm curious how these come about and how to remove. Both rogue icons are Java and Wireshark. Thanks in advance for your time.

Mac OS Yosemite
Windows 8.1 Pro
