Fix: “Pin to Start” Missing from Context Menu in Windows 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the Windows key + R keys to launch Run dialog box, type regedit<\/strong> and press Enter.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. In the Registry Editor window, paste the following into the Registry Editor’s address bar, and then press Enter.
    \nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies<\/code><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \tOn the right pane, look for the DWORD value named as NoChangeStartMenu<\/strong>. If it is listed there, right-click and select the Delete<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n

  3. Next, go to each of the following registry keys. right-click the DWORD value LockedStartLayout<\/strong> to delete it if it exists.\n

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Explorer
    \nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Explorer<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. Close Registry Editor. Finally, open the elevated Command Prompt and execute this command:
    \nregsvr32 \/i shell32.dll<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  5. Restart your computer to check if the “Pin to Start” option is restored back to your right-click context menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The above method will clear the policy settings for both “Prevent users from customizing their Start Screen<\/a>” and “Start Layout<\/a>“, and tell File Explorer to fix the “Pin to Start” context menu in case it’s missing or corrupted. Hopefully, your problem will be solved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
