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

    By the way, according to the article linked in my post above, the update to fix this issue was pushed on April 25, so if you're still experiencing it, simply restart Windows (note that logging out and logging back in is not sufficient; restarting Windows is required). That resolved the issue for me.

    Apparently, the jumplist issue is now officially documented as a known issue.

    I can confirm that all my computers where the jumplists disappeared, and where I restored a previous backup, now have them back just by updating Windows.
    If the jumplists disappeared, after updating Windows now, they won't reappear, but they will now be able to be created again.

    The settings option (right click on start menu), select color, allows you to get back to a "lighter" menu. It also changes the taskbar color though too.
