Windows 10: Windows keeps deleting pinned task bar apps on update and bluescreen

For context, it's not all of the apps that get deleted. I have a separate mobile drive that's not always connected to my computer. I like to keep all the programs in that drive Pinned so when I do connect it I can quickly get to them just like any other app.But every time on start up after a full restart there all removed and I have to repin them all over again.Is there any way to stop this?

Hello Mikky,

Since the problem occurred after an upgrade, it is possible that you are experiencing this issue due to some corrupted Windows system files. For us to efficiently assist you, we would like to ask a few questions:

Windows 10 lost my pinned OneDrive file links on the task bar

First, my files are not missing, I simply cannot access them the same way I did with Windows 8 and 8.1

Correct behavior from Windows 8.1:

1) Open Windows Explorer

2) Find and open Notepad file "Notes.txt" located in a OneDrive folder

3) Notepad is pinned to the task bar

4) Right-click on Notepad icon in task bar

5) List of recent files appears, including files recently opened on OneDrive

6) Right-click on "Notes.txt", left-click on Pin To This List

7) "Notes.txt" is now quickly accessible from the list of files in the Notepad list on the task bar

Under Windows 10, step 5 is broken. Files located on OneDrive never appear in the list of recent items for a pinned application on the task bar. This behavior is duplicated on the Start Menu Jump List.

Under Windows 8.1, I had many pinned documents connected to applications on my task bar. As soon as Windows 10 booted the first time, these links disappeared. Links to documents on the desktop or in my local Documents folder, remained linked to task bar
applications.

Has anyone else seen this behavior, or is it just my computer?
