No jump links on start menu items?
Having recently updated to Windows 11, there appears to be no jump lists when I right click on apps on the start menu.
This is a pain! I don't want everything on my task bar so the start menu is important. But without jump lists it becomes a little pointless.
Any update planned?
CC HoganSometimes when you upgrade from one major revision to the next, you have to reset your apps, due to the DACL / ACLs ( Discretionary Access Control List ) being entirely different on the latest version of Windows 11, not just differences which exist due to code signing policies, and conflicts with legacy SID strings which are tied to a non-existent user / administrator account:
NOTE: This will reset your start menu configuration, but it won't touch things like the settings app, or your taskbar layout. The first 5 lines are to set up PowerShell:
Open the Command Prompt -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.
PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser -Force}" PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope LocalMachine -Force}" PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Set-PSReadLineOption -HistorySaveStyle SaveNothing -MaximumHistoryCount 1}" PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Write-Output 'Remove-Module PSReadline' | New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force}" PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls13}" PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Publisher '*Microsoft*' -PackageTypeFilter Main | Reset-AppxPackage}""Microsoft Store Apps fail to start if default registry or file permissions modified" -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/shell-experience/microsoft-store-apps-fail-to-start

- I think there is some confusion here. I don't think I have an error - I think this is a missing feature.
As far as I can work out, the only jump lists available on Windows 11 are on apps pinned to the task bar and through the start menu when you go Start -> All Apps. Both of those work as intended.
What I was looking for was Jump Lists on items pinned to the start menu, but that appears to be functionality that doesn't exist rather than because there is something wrong with my installation.
Other right click functions (uninstall, unpin, app settings, etc) are all present and correct.- I miss this functionality also. Would think it would be relatively easy for them to implement. Would make apps binned to the start screen much more user friendly.
