Windows 10: Powershell Missing in Context Menu - FOUND!

Right-click on start button displays a context menu with a variety of system options. Until 10074, that could include Command Prompt or Powershell. In this build, Powershell seems to have disappeared, but not really. It is on the Quick Access Toolbar just below, or over, the Ribbon, depending on your choice.

Here is a pic of where it's hiding. Since it's on the Quick Access Toolbar (if you have it enabled), it will appear and start with current folder you are in or have highlighted.

Click on small down-arrow next to Powershell icon to change where the Quick Access Toolbar will be located and to add/remove other Quick Access Toolbar options.

Locked Powershell startup command in context menu

Hi

I had thought it had resolved the problem of the 2 PowerShell scripts as I was able disable them in the context menu of startup. Unfortunately I'm not able to delete them, either in CCleaner or in the registry even though I set permissions to full control.
That said CCleaner shows them as disabled.

Have I missed something?

Hi

I had missed the section on applying full control to the command folder beneath the PowerShell one in regedit. Since I changed the permissions on the command folder as well I have now deleted the two scripts from the startup program list in the context menu.

Many thanks for your help.

Glad to hear that the solution has worked for you. We will now be closing the case on our end. Should you have further queries, feel free to post a new thread.

Best Regards.

 

Yes, Property page is not working. However, It's not hidden. If you click on File, You'll see Power Shell, Command Prompt etc... there then you can right click and "Add to Quick Access Toolbar".

 

Somebody 'misplaced' them in Build 10074.
You have to copy them from:
C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\WinX\Group3
and paste them in:
C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3

...then you'll be able to toggle them in the WinX Menu via Taskbar Properties.

 

Very good Edwin. One typo though:
C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows System\WinX\Group3

Instead of System Tools

 

Oops!
Weird though, when I highlight the address to copy and paste it, it changes the name! *Confused
