Windows 10: Start Pinned Apps not working.

To be honest, Windows 11 is a POS platform! It has way too many issues. It is ****! Now pinned Apps are not working in the start menu. This seems to be a reoccurring problem as this happened with the rollout, again after 1 year and now its happening again after year 2! To be honest, Windows 7 though marginally slower is a better platform that Windows 10 or 11. Take the file system from Windows 7 and import it to windows 11 and then you might have a half decent program! Windows 11 is **** when it comes to productivity! The fact that you can not save files in a meaningful way like you could
