Windows 10: Remove Context Menus from START MENU Icons

Please be aware that setting the group policy option: "Remove Access to the Context Menus for the Taskbar" to "Enabled", in Windows 10, does NOT work. This Group Policy setting is located at:
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu & Taskbar

It is supposed to perform the following: "This will remove the right-click menu for the Task Bar, Start Menu and Clock.", but it does NOT remove the context menu's from Start Menu icons. It DOES however remove the context menu from the Taskbar and Clock.

Has anyone else found a work-around for this issue?

Thank you very much for your time in advance!

:)

 

New Applications did not save to my games folder...

Assuming the icon is in the Start menu, open File Explorer and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Tap and hold on the icon and select Cut from the context menu and go to \Programs\Games folder and paste the icon there.

Add or Remove Start Context menu items

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues with managing Start Context menu items on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

To assist you better, please provide the information:

When you say that "add and remove items from the Windows 10 Start Context menu", are you referring to add or remove the contents present in Start Menu?



If you want to manage the apps which will appear in Start Menu, then you can pin or unpin any apps from the Start Menu.

Step 2: To add the icons of any apps in the Start Menu.

1. Click on Search Menu.

2. Then type the name of apps which you want to add in Start Menu.

3. Right click on the name of apps and click on Pin to Start.

Step 2: Try to unpin the apps which you don't want to display in Start Menu.

1. Click on Start Menu.

2. Right click on any apps icons in the Start Menu.

3. Then click on Unpin from Start.

To clarify, we also do NOT want to completely disable ALL of the File Explorer's default context menus:
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer"Remove File Explorer's default context menu"

as we have an psuedo administrative user that requires certain context menu access ONLY from allotted file explorer directories, but we do not want them to have access to the context menu on the Start Menu. Thanks again!

 

Your first post confused me a little bit. Is there a context menu still showing up when you right click on the Start Button?
