I have opened the Paint program add least 100 times in the past two days. It has never been added to the Most Used area of the Start Menu. What do I need to do to get Paint to show in Most Used on the Start Menu?
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure of the name of this, but when you right click on a program's 'listing' in the taskbar ('Chrome', or a 'This PC' of Explorer) you get a menu (Close window, pin to taskbar etc) - on W7 this was near instant. On W10 on the same machine it takes maybe a second to appear.

View 9 RepliesHere's a screenshot of "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog from a fresh clean install of Windows 10 Pro x64
As you can see, despite its name, it does not have a tab for "Start Menu". I remember that Preview versions of Windows 10 had a "Start Menu" tab. Did they just remove at the last moment? And how I change Start Menu options without that tab?
I've not got the 'Start Menu' tab in my 'Taskbar and Start Menu Properties' control panel (right-click on taskbar). I've seen screenshots on the web, but my Win 10 Pro doesn't have. How can I enable?

View 7 RepliesI just noticed some change in the Get Windows 10 app..
View 8 RepliesI have just upgraded to Win10 and most items on the "Power User Command Menu" do not work if the menu is accessed by right-clicking the Start Menu button on the Task Bar. The only items that do work are Search, Run, Shut down and Desktop. If the menu is accessed by the other means, the menu items work fine.
I've tried SFC and a day searching the web with no luck.
The computer is a Toshiba laptop running an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5500 with 4 Gb of memory. I don't know what the proper name for the "Power User Command Menu" may be, but that's the only way I've seen it referenced elsewhere.
I have a second hdd installed on my desktop that has all my documents etc.My C drive is for the O/S only.
My problem is when I select the search on the taskbar it only searches the C drive how will I set it to search the other internal drive??.Windows 10.
I am running Office 2007, on W10. I have just added to a document, clicked to exit, confirmed save changes, then got this box.
View 4 RepliesI wanted to add some programs to the top of the left side of the start menu (free space on the screenshoot). I have read about the "Pin to Start List" if you rightclick while holding shift. But this seems not to be working anymore!?!?! Is there another possibility to customize this list or to re-add the function? I don't want to use "recently added apps" or something like that ...
View 9 RepliesI'm running the RTM on a netbook and have noticed that, unlike in Windows 7/8/8.1, I'm no longer able to hit Start and type in an executable. I have a bunch of portable apps that I typically type in and pull up. Now, the Start menu search pulls up ever OTHER file except the executable. It's very annoying and don't see why this shouldn't work.
What's worse, is if I pin the app to the start menu, it doesn't search it then. Say, I pin "puttyportable.exe" as a shortcut (and rename it to just PuTTY) to the start menu. Typing in "putty" gives me nothing - just the same associated files that were in the puttyportable folder (ini files, etc).
Ever since installing windows 10, any selections that I make (like selecting text or files in explorer, etc..) can barely be seen. This is especially frustrating when making selections because the currently selected item(s) look like they are not selected just like all the rest.
Is there any way to make the current selection stand out like it did back in Windows 7?
I have already tried changing hue, contrast, gamma, etc in the Nvidia control panel and I have the latest graphics drivers.
I installed Windows 10 very recently and I like it, but I have a VERY BIG show-stopper: when I try to do search in the start menu, it's terrible; it cannot even find an application that I have manually pinned to start. I didn't have any such problem with Windows 8.1. I have also installed some other desktop applications, for example GitHub for Windows, but when I start to to type "Git...", it only finds "GitHub" and it cannot find "Git Shell" and I have to go to all programs, find "G", then expand the folder for this application and run that application.
View 9 RepliesSo i added an WD 2TB HDD to my computer, and removed an old ATI Sapphire HD 5450 GPU. When i booted up, my computer was unable to find an OS, and it said to remove any HDD that does not have an OS, and so i did. Then i t said reboot and choose device, but when o rebooted, it just went back to the same screen. I tried to enter system recovery, but it bluescreened... i have tried this like 6 times, rearranging SATA cables and SATA power cables,

Settings > Personalization > Start :: Show recently added apps
This one I really spent so much time on, finding this one's registry address don't hesitate. I need to turn it off via registry only!
When I try to save added text to a document in Wordpad that I have already "Saved as" I keep getting the "saved as" page. How do I Save additional text?
View 6 RepliesStrange, Settings > Personalization > Start ::
I can disable "Show most used apps" and "Show recently opened apps" using this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]
"Start_TrackDocs"=dword:00000000
"Start_TrackProgs"=dword:00000000
But I also need to disable "Show recently added apps" via registry and I couldn't find the related key.
I have tried many things, including removing keyboard and language.
View 2 RepliesA couple of issues with W10 start menu ( - not sure if they're symptoms of the same thing. This is GA x64 W10 with all current updates installed
1) Pin to start menu doesn't pin anything to the start menu. I wanted to pin File History - R click in control panel, select Pin to Start - doesn't pin. Tested on another machine and it works there.
2) R click the Start button for the Power User menu - all I see is Network Connections - same result with Win X. Again, works as expected on another install.
how to save me doing a re-install?
Edit - SFC reports no violations.
Edit - switched to a local account on the machine and PU menu is there and working - so is this a permissions thing? My original account is admin.
When I right-click the Start Menu (Win10Pro) and the menu pops up, selecting any of the menu items does not do anything. The menu just closes.I ran sfc /scannow and the log is attached.There are a bunch of errors based on 'duplicate owners' and something about 'opencl.dll' possibly is corrupt at the very end of the log.
I ran a driver uninstaller app found on this forum and then downloaded and installed the recent NVIDIA GeForce drivers for my dual GT640 cards (3 monitors).After rebooting, Geforce indicated a new updated driver and I downloaded and installed that as well.The only menu items that will work when right-clicking Start Menu are the "Run" and "Search" options. Control Panel, Event Viewer, Command Prompt, etc. do nothing.The only way to start these items is to do so via the search box or run box.
I served in the Air Force communications division. I have managed million dollar installations. I am in college working toward a programming degree. I can not for the life of me get my "All Apps" menu to show up on my start menu. I have even searched google and was given every single way of adding and removing programs from the all apps folder but not a single article on how to get the actual folder option to show up.
View 1 RepliesHow Change Taskbar Item Size? Such as photo...
View 3 RepliesSince upgrading to Win10 a couple of days ago all the active programs on the task bar would not restore/maximize.
When I click on an open program icon on the task-bar, the icon reacts as if the selected program was maximizing but my screen does not change and stays stuck on the previous opened window. Alt+Tab doesn't work either.
I thought it could be related to my GPU and reinstalled it but it did not fix the issue.
