Windows 10: Windows 10 - 20H2 - Taskbar pinned applications right mouse click context menu does not...

I am currently running Windows 10 - 20H2 build 19042.610 - Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0. Ever since installing the 20H2 update, shortly after logging into Windows, the context menus for pinned applications on my taskbar do not show text. You can see that the menu items populate and function, but you cannot see the text.


Note, it seems to only affect those "Recent" context menus from the taskbar and notifications notification text does not display but icons will.





Any thoughts?


Thanks!

:)

I added a third step to the first suggestion, which worked for me:

1. Choose start> All apps,

2. Scroll to the application you want to pin, right click and then click
Pin to taskbar.

3. When the desired icon tile appears in the desktop box, left click on it and drag it into the task bar.

 

Right click context menu of Windows 10 is excrutiatingly slow in taskbar

Hello,

Running Windows 10, latest update (08.08.) and latest drivers on an Asus Zenbook 14 (i5 CPU). I recently had to restore Windows, ever since then the context menu of some applications is extremely slow.

When I right click on apps on the taskbar, they usually open the context menu of every application ( un/pin, recent documents, other settings).

This works fine for all applications in less than a second EXCEPT for Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook. Whenever I try to open the context menu of Office Apps it takes 20-30 seconds to open the recently used documents.

I've already re-installed Office and Onedrive to no avail. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Try to pin the Applications from All apps and check if it helps.

• 
  Choose Start >
  All apps,
  
• 
  Scroll to the application you want to pin,
  right click and then click Pin to taskbar.
  

You may also try to pin it from installed location.

• 
  Go to the location of the application you want to pin, (For example, to pin the
  Microsoft Word, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16
  or C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16
  and then to WinWord)
  
• 
  Right-click
  the file and select 'Pin to Taskbar' from the context menu.
  

Try the above steps and let us know if you can pin applications to taskbar.
