Windows 10: Pin/UnPin From/To Start Menu in Windows 11 is not possible since last CU [2024-09]

Hello all.I just noticed on all my updated clients with Windows 11 that Pin any program to Start Manu is gone. Also UnPin from it is also not possible anymore. Its probably after last CU from this month. Its affected to all clients in Domain, but also in regular WorkGroup without any custom GPO/Registry settings. To make sure its something wrong I just made new "fresh" OS install without any customization. Can you confirm this issue to? My Microsoft Windows is in Version 10.0.22631.4169

:)

 

Can't unpin/pin items in start menu

I tried and I still didn't have an option to pin/unpin anything.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll just wait for an update and see if it fixes it, if not I'll rollback to an earlier version of the update.

 

'Pin to Start' and 'Unpin from Start" items in Windows 10

Thanks Cliff. The first suggestion didn't work because the shortcut icon is not listed. The second easier suggestion didn't work because right-clicking does not include "Open File Location" as an option, only "Unpin from Start" and "Resize". Screenshots are included. "xmltobgl" is the culprit icon.

 

Pin\unpin to Start Menu Not Working in Windows 10

Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > in the flashing prompt, type powershell > press Enter.

Now copy and paste the following command. To avoid typo, please do use copy/paste method.

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

> press Enter.

When finished, restart computer.

See if that makes any difference.
