Windows 10: Pin to taskbar missing from right click menu

I have a shortcut to an .exe that for some reason pin to taskbar is missing, pin to start is there, a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Windows 10 build 18362.836



:)

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

I added a third step to the first suggestion, which worked for me:

1. Choose start> All apps,

2. Scroll to the application you want to pin, right click and then click
Pin to taskbar.

3. When the desired icon tile appears in the desktop box, left click on it and drag it into the task bar.

Hi,

Try to pin the Applications from All apps and check if it helps.

• 
  Choose Start >
  All apps,
  
• 
  Scroll to the application you want to pin,
  right click and then click Pin to taskbar.
  

You may also try to pin it from installed location.

• 
  Go to the location of the application you want to pin, (For example, to pin the
  Microsoft Word, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16
  or C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16
  and then to WinWord)
  
• 
  Right-click
  the file and select 'Pin to Taskbar' from the context menu.
  

Try the above steps and let us know if you can pin applications to taskbar.
