Customization :: Customize Left Side Of Start Menu - Pin To Start List?
Aug 5, 2015I 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 RepliesUnable To Search Executable Or Pinned Start Apps From Start Menu
Jul 28, 2015I'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).

Sep 11, 2015Whenever I log-in from hibernate or boot, the start interface shows. I had this enabled in Windows 8.1 (start screen), but now I'm on 10 (no start screen) and it still shows.
There is no option to disable it. Is there a registry key to disable this?
P.S. My start screen is normal, not full screen.
Start Menu Search Cannot Even Find App That Is Manually Pinned To Start
Aug 15, 2015I 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.

When Click Start Button No Access To Start Menu
Dec 29, 2015This problem is on a desktop computer (HP Pavilion). When I click the start button, the start menu does not display. Pressing the Windows key on the keyboard also does not take me to the start menu.
I can access the right-click menu on the start button and most of the items on the right-click menu respond correctly when clicked (a few don't. No response from "Search" and "Desktop"). I installed Windows 10 over a month ago and have had no problems until now. Everything was working fine yesterday and to the best of my knowledge I have changed no settings since then.
Can't Pin Some Items In Start Menu To Start Screen?
Aug 2, 2015Any of the items under games in this screen shot will not pin to my Start Screen? They will pin to my taskbar though. It's windows 10 Enterprise if that matters. I can right click and select Pin to Start, but nothing happens. Right click again and Pin To Start is still listed as an option, but doesn't do anything?

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?

View 1 RepliesNo Pin To Start Option
Dec 24, 2015No system restore point.
What happened is that I installed an app and I accidentally clicked "Install" for a chrome plug-in. It removed some shortcuts on my start menu and I was just "Okay. I'll just pin them again." And at this point I already scheduled a chkdsk for c: so I restarted my PC first. But when I came back I found out that Pin to Start is gone. I removed the chrome plugin and the app itself but still, the problem is still there.
EDIT: Cannot drag from "All apps" list to Start Menu icons area also. It shows a red error circle. And when right clicking a shortcut on the Start Menu, there is no "Unpin from Start"

View 2 RepliesCannot Pin Any Items To Start
Apr 28, 2015Build 10061, clean install. Had issues with Start Menu and Search not working at all but disabling Radeon Mobile GPU and switchable graphics in BIOS, using the onboard Intel HD GPU only they both work now without any other issues than the one mentioned in the title: I simply cannot pin anything to Start.
The option is there when I right click any Start Menu item, it's just that nothing happens when I select it:
Pinning to Taskbar works but the items cannot be pinned to Start. The Start layout reset as told in this tutorial does not fix the issue. I was suspecting my relocated Users folder might have something to do with this (I have sysprepped Users to E:) but I am quite sure this is not the culprit because I do the same on all my Windows installs and all other machines, both physical and virtual work as they should.

No Option To Pin To Start
Oct 13, 2015no matter what I try, I'm unable to pin to start - this is the standard 10240 build. Win 10 Pro (my desktop)

Desktop Cannot Start?
Jan 24, 2016I could not power up my desktop but with a lot of finagling I got it going(power cord - in out). Somehow, luckily , I got something on my monitor and the power button went from yellow+steady, to white. Using Macrium I recovered an image. I then ran SFC, Dell diagnostics + all fine now ).
Question, I have a rescue flash drive WinPE for Windows 10. Could I have booted from it to get to see something on the monitor even if I could not get in the BIOS or even get anything on the screen? Do you just hold the power button until the flash drive takes over? I do not know how to use a rescue media if I cannot start the PC and googling is not working. I have run MBAM with exploit and Defender. I also have SpywareBlaster and am behind a router.
Customization :: What Does Pin To Start Actually Do
Aug 2, 2015Fresh installation of Windows 10.

Note that Pin to Taskbar does work. What is supposed to happen?
Installation :: App Does Not Start Up?
Jan 20, 2016The Get Windows 10 app started up while I was writing this post!
I have been preparing one of my office PCs for an upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10.
When KB3035583 and the rest of the preparatory updates came out last summer I hid them - on all PCs.
One every other PC I restored these updates on and installed, the Get Windows 10 app started right up.
But on this PC (the one in my System Specs) after restoring all the updates and installing them, the Get Windows 10 app does not start.
Using the MS fix to diagnose the app returns the error: "Unsupported Version" > Details: "Windows is not up to date". Checking Windows Update yields nothing new to install.
(Windows 7 Home was installed first on this PC from a 3-license retail disk, activated, and legitimate. It has never been reinstalled on this PC)
Can't Pin Anything To Start Menu
Aug 1, 2015Either the Windows 10 start menu really sucks or I am using it wrong. I am used to the StartisBack/Windows 7 menu where you can pin anything and all applications will come up in search results. In the Windows 10 menu, I can't pin anything to the start menu that's not already in the menu. So if I want to drag a shortcut from the desktop, a file from somewhere, or a folder, it will not allow me to pin it. Also right clicking on an item anywhere and selecting "Pin to Start" does nothing. Is this the standard behavior or is something wrong with my setup?
Also, the start menu search does not bring up the majority of the non-metro programs installed on my system. Most of them are not even in the "All Apps" list. If I don't have shortcuts on my desktop, the only way to access them is to navigate to the Program Files folder and run the exe from there.
Start Up Not Happening?
Nov 3, 2015I was having some issues on my Toshiba C655-S5505 laptop under WIN 7 so I updated to 10 and it did fix the wireless adapter issue I had, but now it does not start up unless I go into repair mode and either choose 7 Disable Driver Signatures or 8 Disable early launce anti-malware protection. It does not do it permanently and I cannot find where to turn these off. Once it is up it runs better than it ever did on 7, but who wants to do the repair every time? It also does not see the CD-ROM anymore, but I could live with that if it would just startup. I have spent more time on this one than any other machine I ever had to repair. If I had hair, I would put it out.
