Windows 10: Limited number of pinned apps to Start

Hi,I want to pin about 70 shortcuts to the start apps, with I group in folders. I do this via editing the shortcut's target property with cmd /c "....bat" which is working fine to some extent - I can pin them via right-click on the shortcut.However, it seems that I'm just able to pin a limited number of apps, about 26.Is there a limit to pinned apps?Thanks,AT

:)

 

Why is there a limit of items that can be pinned to the start menu?

In previous builds there was a higher limit or no limit. If the item listed was off-screen, you just scrolled whether or not the start menu was full size or not. In build 10130 there is a limit, not only that if you have a lower screen resolution there is even a lower limit. Kind of waste to have a start screen (Not app list) if you are going to limit on how much can be put on it. Might as well use the taskbar or desktop shortcuts.

Are you saying that your Start Screen does not scroll?

I haven't 'filled' mine up, but a vertical scroll bar does appear from time to time - just about the time when I can no longer open Start.

Try toggling Settings > Personalize > Start switches on or off - that brings my Start menu back to life. IT sometimes takes a toggle on followed by a toggle off. I don't know if this trick will help the scrolling issue though.

The issue where pin-to-start does nothing was occurring on this machine, but that seems to have settled down (probably because I pin less often now that most of the pgms are already there).
I resorted to pinning things from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs or pinning the exe from Program Files.

The re-sizing bouncing tile issue - seems to be the last tile 'touched', so I always 'touch' 3d Builder last. By touch, I mean move or re size.

There definitely are some issues with Start in 10.0.130, but then there are new features and with that .... you know .... issues *Wink
