    Unable to unpin/pin any Start menu tiles,can't uninstall user UWP apps


    Hello,
    I am running Windows 10 Pro build 18363 (version 1909) on my laptop. As the title says, I am unable to unpin or pin any Start menu tiles, and there is also no option to uninstall any user UWP apps (like the ones installed from the Microsoft Store), but I can uninstall them by going to Settings > Apps. How can I fix this issue? Re-installing Windows is out of the question for me as I have lots of data on this laptop that I am unable to backup (internet speed is too slow to back files up to the cloud and download again). Look at attached screenshots to get a better idea of what I mean. Is there a registry script or something I can run to re-enable this functionality? And yes, I have tried sfc /scannow and the DISM RestoreHealth tools to no avail. All help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Edit: I have also tried restoring the Start menu to default layout which did not fix it.

    :)

    Can't pin/unpin tiles

    Hi Michael,

    A corrupted user profile is one of the possible reasons why you are unable to pin/unpin tiles. Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue? Meanwhile, you can follow the steps in this

    link     to troubleshoot issues with the Start menu or Cortana.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    I decided to unpin Network Tile but am unable to do so.

    Restarted computer
