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

    This problem is a weird one. At this point, I've installed the April updates on a total of 5 Windows 10 Pro (22H2) machines. Only one developed this issue after the updates. Unfortunately, it's a computer that I use every day, and the jump lists are part of my normal workflow.

    I've tried rebooting the computer that has the issue, and that didn't help. I wondered if my user profile somehow became corrupted, so I tried logging in as a different user. That didn't help either. I guess the problem is system-wide and affects all user accounts on the machine. It sure would be nice to have my jump lists back.

    It's true that the jump lists still work for icons on the Taskbar, but I really don't want to clutter the Taskbar up with a bunch of icons. I'm used to righ-clicking the icons in the Start Menu. Maybe I'll add some more icons to the Taskbar temporarily and hope that next month's updates correct this issue.

    What a nuisance this is. I have several Windows10 computers to take care of and have resisted the move to Windows11 because it "breaks" the flow of familiar working practices. Just spent a good hour trying to resolve this on one of the machines but no success so far. Thanks to everyone who is trying to resolve this and draw it MS attention via the hub.

    Well, I already have three Windows 10 computers with the jumplist problem. I just updated one I rarely use, and it's doing the same thing. I'm going back to the March backup and blocking updates.

    How do you search in the feedback hub? The only option close that I see is filter, which I could only narrow down to PROBLEM (VS suggestion). Even with that list it shows me, I don't see any others with a jumplist problem. I'm sure there are more feedbacks though I only see about 20 maybe, with that filter.

    Hello billy,

    At the top of the Feedback Hub page there is a search bar that initially says "Give us feedback to make Windows better".

    I just searched for "jump". The report is very new, so it shows up near the top.
