Windows 10: No Pin To Start Option

No 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"

:)

 

No option to pin apps to taskbar or uninstall apps

dism completed successfully and sfc /scannow did not find any violations, still those options do not show up. Another issue I have with apps is that they crash on opening, photos app crashes and twitter.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
  
  • 
    Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    
  • 
    Click File > Run New Task
    
  • 
    Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    
  • 
    Type CMD
    
• 
  Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannnow
  

Then try to check if you find the option by right clicking on any app.

Let us know the status of the issue.

 

As much as possible, I want to fix this problem without refreshing my pc.

 

This is killing me. I guess I'll just refresh my PC. Fml.

 

Press and hold Shift while right clicking.

 

Doesn't work.

 

hi, did you have any luck fixing this? I'm having the same issue, it's a very frustrating issue, ive been to load of forums and haven't found anything helpful

 

Hello, *Smile

You might see if this may be able to restore "Pin to Start".
