Windows 10: Why can't I drag a folder to the right side of the start menu?

I'm in the process of trying to put a shortcut to a folder on the right side of the Start menu. The most obvious approach to me is to drag it from Windows File Explorer onto the rightside of the Start menu which gets me the below response denying the action. Why is this? A company the size of Microsoft can surely forsee this intention and action. Why would they choose to prevent it? It is it a security risk? Is it to save for some future update so we can impressed at how usable Windows is finally becoming after 30 years of development? Having to perform extensive searches on how to do basic tasks is the kind of crap I expect from Linux.

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?
