A new update for Windows 10 came out on April 22nd. I'll try using the March 2025 backup and updating everything to include this new update. I'll see if the jumplist issue is fixed and let you know.
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

2025-04-18T06:20:24+00:00 I have Windows Updates paused. I've also stopped them using group policies. Defender continues to update automatically. Check the dates. This doesn't reproduce the jumplist issue.

2025-04-18T04:48:09+00:00 I am having the same issue but I narrowed it down to Windows Update installing any update that came out after March's Patch Tuesday. This includes Windows Defender anti-virus updates installed using Windows Update.
If I disable Windows Update using the group policies editor (I have Windows 10 Professional) and install updates manually including Windows Defender anti-virus updates I do not have the problem and my start menu jump lists continue to work.
