    Pinned excel/word start menu shortcuts not working

    Hi Coro123, and welcome to Tenforums!

    In Windows 10, I found the most practical way to quick access certain documents is via context menu.

    Quickest is if you pin Word (not a document) to Taskbar, and by right click on it you have a list of documents. You can pin any document in list - it will appear on the top and stay there.

    It is the same for Start menu. Right click on Word tile it will give you context menu with recent files

    Remove "Pin to Start" Context Menu for Files in Windows 10?


    Looking to remove the "pin to start" context menu from Windows 10, I use startmenu replacement and that option is very much in the way.

    There was a way for win 8.1
    Files in Windows 8

    But reg files changed, so anyone got a Win 10 version of it?

    Cheers.
