    Right-Click on Windows Banner Does Nothing


    Hi Friends,

    I'm a newbie looking for a really simple answer: Why does right-clicking on my Windows 10 banner (lower-left corner) do nothing, when right-clicking on my other install brings up a menu? I'm sure it's probably a simple tweak.. but I don't know where to go..

    Thank you!

    :)

    Right mouse click --> Pin to start does nothing

    thanks!

    none of your steps helped.

    how do I add .exe files to the start menus from explorer?

    Right mouse click --> Pin to start does nothing

    Right click on on .exe file and Pin to start does nothing

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Right click on .exe file

    2. select Pin to Start from menu

    Expected behaviour: a tile is created on the Start menu

    Actuall behaviour: nothing happens.

    As I don't believe in anti-virus software no anti-virus was installed.

    Right-Click on Windows Banner Does Nothing

    Sorry.. I was in a rush and should clarify. I have two computers that have Win 10. Right-clicking the banner on the one computer brings up that menu, but it doesn't work on the other computer.

    Any 3rd party shell program running, like Classic Shell?

    Hold the shift key and right-click the banner. Tell me what happens.

    Then you don't have Classic Shell or something like it. Did this just start happening? Are both machines running the same version of Windows? To see the version, hold the WIN key and press R, type WINVER and enter.

    Brand new install today. Has not worked since I installed. Both are Enterprise.

    Not very familiar with Enterprise at all, but if they are both clean installs today, something small may have gone awry in the one not working. Might be something minor. You could check for any corruption in the component store by running SFC /SCANNOW at an admin command prompt to rule that out. Would take about 10 minutes.

    Hey I figured out why it wasn't opening. For some reason there was no WinX folder in my %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows folder. I copied it over from another profile and now it's working. Thanks all!
