Win10, Right click on pinned programs in Start Menu no longer have file list

I'm pretty sure this occured after the latest update (which is actually four updates). I removed all four updates and the right click latest file function is still not there.

The update was: March 25, 2025-KB5055063 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2 - Microsoft Support

The first update removed as listed is KB5054978. I lost track of the other 3 updates installed at the same time.

THIS IS THE EXACT MAIN REASON I WOULDN'T GO TO WINDOWS 11!!!! I'll be glad when there are no more win10 updates!

How do I get this right click function back? Below is the menu I get when I now right click on a pinned start menu, program:

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    It was KB5055518 that did it for me. That was the only update that ran on my computer.

    Does Microsoft intentionally put engineers that make mistakes and break the code so that users will become disillusioned with win10.

    That the most recently used files on each app doesn't exist on win11 is one reason I don't want to switch. I like to pin the files that I constantly need to refer back to.

    I did this: "Please report this issue to Microsoft using Feedback Hub application(win+F)"

    I haven't heard anything back at all. I still have this problem.

    You should provide feedback to help the cause.

    I'm guessing MS is making it like Win11 so that you switch over.

    I just encountered this issue on one computer this week after installing the Patch Tuesday updates. I believe I've found your report in the Feedback Hub. Is this it?

    In any case, I've upvoted that report, and I've added a comment on it. Currently, the status of the report is that Microsoft is looking into it. I hope they find the issue!

    Thank you for posting about this issue here. I was able to find your post through a Bing search. Now at least I know I'm not alone when it comes to this issue. If this happened to us, then I'm sure it's happened to others as well.

    To anyone who reads this and is experiencing this issue, please upvote the Feedback Hub entry at the link above. Upvoting will make it more likely that Microsoft will prioritize the issue. Thank you!

    Thank you for your reply. I have the same issue. I have tried both options: re 1: these settings were already set, re 2: I have deleted the files, but the problem remains. Please help. It is very inconvenient this feature is not working anymore! Thank you

    #1. These were both set already.

    #2. This happened on two different laptops so it's almost impossible that they both had corruption of the data/cache.
