Can't unpin/pin items in start menu

Hi,

I've been using windows 10 for some time and I didn't have any problems until now,
idk when the problem appeared or what caused it.
I wanted to uninstall a program that I wasn't using, and it was pinned to my start menu tile,
and I wanted to put something in that empty space, and for some reason I don't see any option to remove or add a tile.

Here is a picture of my issue Windows 10 Problem - Album on Imgur

I updated to the latest update but it didn't help, I searched some fixes,
for example : using powershell, scanning for corruption (sfc /scannow)
I saw a post saying that Kaspersky causes problems with the start menu, so that may be the cause. I once had Kaspersky installed but it was uninstalled months ago.

Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion.

I appreciate your sugestion but it didn't work.

@Master
See if you can access the option from within the Applications folder:
type shell:appsfolder into a 'Run' box and press enter, locate a particular item to see if you can Pin/Unpin it from there.

I tried and I still didn't have an option to pin/unpin anything.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll just wait for an update and see if it fixes it, if not I'll rollback to an earlier version of the update.

Master,

Looking again at your question and the capture you posted, maybe I am misunderstanding what you want to accomplish.

Now it is not, so you have an empty space.

If you left click the empty space, nothing happens. You do not get the option to remove or add a tile. That is happening to me also, I have no options for an empty space.

If I have still misunderstood your inquiry, take a look at the suggestions posted by PaulC_1:

He has two postings that maybe will help you with the issue, one of which is a Registry modification.

My problem is that there's an empty space in my start menu and I can't put something in that spot,
I looked at the link and tried using the registry method but it didn't..
But I still appreciate the effort.

Master,

Can you drag and drop the People tilt located below the empty space, into the empty space? Or, use any other tile, if you wish.

(Tap (press) and hold on to the tile to select it, drag it to a new position, and then release your finger or stylus.)

I can't , the tiles won't move.

Later I'll use a windows 10 boot disk and try to fix the corrupt/missing files.
