    Taskbar shortcuts' context menus diminished


    Win10 Pro (20H2, says winver). Updated from 2004; visually unchanged, including taskbar.

    Taskbar shortcuts' context menus are less useful, containing only
    - unpin
    - close (if referenced program is running).

    Formerly the menu contained also the name, whose submenu contained
    - properties
    - run as admin.

    There is not many attributes available in the right click Taskbar context menu for UWP apps..., some inferior UWP apps don't even have jump lists!
    for Win32 programs, it should be the same as it's always been, or similar.

    Is this an example of what is desired, it may depend upon the number of files previously opened by the program, some Pinned and some Recent.

    Depends on the app or program..., depends on your max jump list limit..., depends on a lot of things...

    Example:
    The Settings App, you got squat!

    Some apps are normal, sorta...

    Win32 programs are still integrated, (for now!!!) with File Explorer, so they're traditional...

    How did you airbrush all those programs, utilities, etc., out of the displays?

    I uninstalled Enablement Package. Now 2004 (says winver). Taskbar anomaly remains.

    (Of course it is possible that the anomaly predated update to 20H2 via Enablement Package;
    by no longer than a few days.)

    Together let us try to repair this taskbar inadequacy, without reinstallation of the OS.
    System Restore is not a solution, because, as happens to many users, all restore points always disappear within a day or two.

    Innocent post removed due to OP objecting.
