    Cannot pin programs to start menu


    Not all the programs I have installed appear on the start menu (all apps).

    Even if I right click the relevant exe file (from file explorer) and select pin to start menu it does not appear.

    If I select pin to taskbar that works!

    Hi, regarding the first point, Win 10's start menu does not express the traditional start menu folder structure usefully or reliably. Strange, isn't it?

    Try Classic Shell (free). You can still launch win 10's menu with a key combination, and launch the universal apps from both.

    CS. gives you choices- a Win 7 -like start menu, a menu that cascades across the screen, expanding control menu etc. You can even (I have) have a Win 7 Orb as your start button if you get the images.
