    How to pin shortcut to start menu.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, I understand that you would like to know how to pin short cut to start menu.

    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below if you are using Windows 7.

    Pin a program to the Start menu

    Windows help & learning

    And if you are using Windows 10 then I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below.

    Pin apps to Start

    Pin the apps you use most often to the Start menu. Here's how:

    • Go to Start > All Apps.
    • Press and hold (or right-click) an app.
    • Select Pin to Start.




    Hope this helps. Please let us know the results. We will be happy to assist you further.

    Quick Access is Always Empty and Can't Pin Folders + Taskbar Programs Menu Disappeared

    Basically I can't pin anymore. I'm not getting an error when I pin. Whenever I pin it's not appearing in quick access. But it appears on the file explorer jump list on the taskbar. I already tried other solutions like emptying these locations:

    • %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\
    • %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\
    • %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\
    but it doesn't work, it only made things worse. The jump list menu disappeared for pinned programs, like chrome ("start in incognito mode" and the like menus disappeared when i right clicked programs on taskbar).

    Now i have 2 problems, quick access won't show my pinned folders and taskbar menu disappeared.

    Windows 11, Pin to Start Menu disappeared from right-click on the program

    Pinned start menu programs lost after upgrade to windows 11

    I had a couple dozen programs pinned to my start menu in windows 10. I was forced into an upgrade to windows 11 recently and all my pinned start menu programs are gone and replaced by stuff I don't use. I don't remember everything I had pinned. Is there a way to recover this or at least get a list of what I had pinned?
