    Windows 11 - Windows start menu not working post update


    Hi,After installing the windows 11 update my Surface Pro 7 won't open the windows start menu - either by clicking on the start icon on the taskbar or by pressing the windows key. This seems highly ironic and I'd begun to think that microsoft had moved on from this sort of nonsense - clearly I was wrong.Thanks in advance.

    :)

    How do ya add to window start menu?

    Make a Start menu shortcut to it in the All Programs section. Then drag it to the top left of the original Cascade menu. (Where windows update normally is).
    lol @ folder name

    Windows 11 - Windows start menu not working post update

    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?
