    How do I add item to action panel?


    Subject says it.

    I had an utility I use frequently on the Action Panel (I think that's what it's called). When I updated the utility it was removed. How do I add it back?

    Using win ver 1909

    I guess I called it the wrong thing.

    When I click the Start button. The right half of the pane has squares that look like what was called Charms in windows 8. That's what I'm talking about. Here's an example:

    Those are called pinned Tiles on the Start menu. To add anything to those pinned tiles, open file explorer, find the .exe you want to add, right-click on it and select Pin to Start.

    May be easier, and quicker, to press the Windows key, getting the Start Menu, and simply type the app name. Pin option is on the right.
