Windows 10: Only "pin to start" (as a tile) and not "pin to start menu"?

Hello!

I haven't tried the previews but follow the development through blogs and YouTube. I am running 8.1 on all my PC's and love it. I've become used to the start screen and tiles but was under the impression that the new start menu in 10 would make it possible to pin shortcuts to the start menu like you can in windows 7 i.e. to the top left, NOT as a tile. Now it seems that function has been removed in the latest build, or have I missed something? For my usage this makes the return of the start menu pretty pointless. It's just a smaller start screen.

Dual Sim Calling and Messaging Icon Not getting pinned to the start screen

Hi the dual sim phone and messaging tiles are not getting pinned to the tiles screen (start screen of my phone) when tries the "pin to start" option is disabled

 

Start Menu No Default Selection For "Pinned Tiles" vs "All Apps"

This does not answer my question. I already have "Show app list in Start menu" on. I want to turn "Pinned tiles" OFF, or make "All apps" open INSTEAD OF "Pinned tiles" when I go to the start menu.

 

You mean, like this ?

Hmm. I think he wants to pin a shortcut to the start just like you can pin one to the desktop. If that's the case I don't think you can right now.. but I could be wrong on that.

Yes, e.g. snipping tool, is that pinned and not just there because it was used recently?

 

Each one still gives me the option to pin but.......it would end up on the right hand side.

But no the option is not like Windows 7 *Sad

And I have these unchecked.

 

OK great! How do you do that? The latest demos I've watched they can only choose "pin to start" when they right click and that pins it as a tile. I probably should install the preview as a VM.

 

I forget, maybe I had store and display checked, the icons where there, then I unchecked and removed the icons I do not use and left them there (Paint and Snip)

 

Press and hold 'Shift' while right clicking, it should give you the options to 'Pin to Start', 'Pin to Start List' and 'Pin to Taskbar' for most items.
Can't do it on the 'Continuum' UI though! *Sad

And "pin to start list" is still there in the latest build?

 

Jeff, that pins them to the right hand side, not the left like the OP wants.

Yes, pin to start list is there when you choose an icon to pin.

Edwin has the answer. Good job Edwin *Smile

I knew someone would come up with the answer.

Oh,, my mistake.

And "pin to start list" is still there in the latest build? Yup.
