    Unable to create folder groups on Start Menu [win 10 pro bld 19037.1]


    [ Win 10 Pro build 19037.1; Alienware Aurora R7, additional specs in bio ]

    Hi, IT desktop support user here. I know my way around the ins and outs of most Windows issues.

    I only updated to this Insider build yesterday, and this issue has persisted for a month or more I had just hoped it would be fixed by a later update. However, this issue remains for me, even in a new test user profile, and I cannot seem to find any others concerned about this problem online. Therefore, I thought I'd post here for some thoughts.

    I am unable to drag and drop icons on the Start Menu onto each other to form folders. I can make Groups, no problems, and the system generated a folder of its own (MS Office), and my old folder groups still exist. DISM completes successfully, though it stops at 84.9% when it says this (can't find any info on this issue -- if it *is* an issue -- either). SFC finds no integrity violations.

    Please chime in with any thoughts; I'd appreciate the discourse. Hopefully it's a setting I've forgotten or something I can fix easily in Powershell. Thanks, in advance everyone!

    Hello lowprofile,

    Do mean for live folders on Start like below?

    Create and Use Live Folders on Start in Windows 10

    I just tested this on my build 19037.1 system, and it appears to still be working for me to create a new one.

    Hopefully something in the tutorial below may still work for you.

    Hi, so, yes, that's what I'm talking about. Dragging the tiles on top of each other no longer does anything. Okay, SOLVED. I was accessing it remotely, and that is apparently a function that is disabled remotely. Thanks for the help!

    I'm glad you found the cause.

    Sure are a lot of things you can't do remotely.
