Windows 10: Completely blank Start menu, after trying to Pin "This PC" to it.

I recently installed Win10 on my machine. It is the LTSC 64-Bit 1809 version.

After trying to pin This PC to the Start menu, for easier access to my files, my Start menu gone completely blank.

I've attached here a screenshot of my desktop with the start menu open... couldn't be more straight forward.

Searching for an answer only came up with solutions for regular Win10 versions not the LTSC version, and it wasn't absolutely blank of things - like my case.

Any help will be appriciated... thanks a lot.

Trying to pin Pictures file to start menu on W10?


My Pictures file suddenly disappeared from my start menu on Windows 10. Now when I try to pin it back it doesn't appear. on my menu. I've tried to unpin and pin it again but there's still a blank space on my start menu. I've enlarged the menu to make sure it definitely didn't pin which it hasn't.

Any help is appreciated.
