    Pin to Start showing Random Text on Tiles and not Opening


    When I pin an application to the Start Menu on Windows 10, I see tiles with random text and when I click them, they are not opening the app either. Attaching a screenshot of some apps:

    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.

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


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

    It does not work like this. You have to shift + right click the corresponding exe file or a shortcut in Windows Explorer to get the "pin to start lis" option. But be aware that even though you can choose to pin a certain program to the start list there is no guarantee that it actually works. On my system it does not work for most programs, i've only been able to add a handful of them. The only thing that does work ist "pin to start" which adds them to thw right side of the sart menu as a tile.

    Seriously,I hope this is a bug. Because a start menu that does not let you add your own programs is worthless. If I'm forced to use tiles I will be better off using the start screen.
