KB5055612 also worked for me.
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

2025-04-28T14:39:37+00:00 The jumplist is black and white like the original post. It used to be a white and black (or a light blue instead of white). The later are much easier to read. I don't know if I can change that or not.

2025-04-28T05:07:10+00:00 Of my 8 computers, the jumplists didn't fail on 2, but they did fail on 6. On the ones that failed, I restored the Acronis backup to the March one and blocked updates. I don't want computers with updates installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled, which could leave the system unstable.
On one of the computers that failed, which was the one I use the least, after reading a post on another forum that said the jumplists started working again, I think around April 25th, I clicked Check for Updates and yes, the jumplists returned, perhaps after installing KB5055612.
Even so, I'm not going to update the computers until May. I'll skip the March updates to the May ones.

Several users also confirm that jumplists are back.

2025-04-28T03:40:42+00:00 So I also have KB5055518 installed as well as KB5055612 yet my start menu jump list is still gone. Oddly enough if I pin the app to the taskbar and right click it, it shows all my pinned and recent files in the taskbar menu, but right cliking on the start menu shortcut still shows nothing. Before I got KB5055612 I tried uninstalling KB5055518 and sure enough the start menu pinned files were there. But forgot and next day accidentally let updates happen and it reinstalled KB5055518 and pinned gone again. Haven't tried uninstalling both then installing KB5055612 first maybe then KB5055518 but don't think that'd make much difference. Again tho, if app is pinned to taskbar the jumplist is there so it's not fully gone, just unable to show in start menu for whatever reason. However I got enough on my taskbar, I want it on my start menu.
