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

    I'm sorry you can't recover a backup.

    I restored my Acronis backup from March 2025 and stopped all updates. I've even hacked them in the registry until 2026.

    When May 13, 2025, arrives, I'll back up with Acronis, click the "Check for Updates" button, install the May 2025 updates, and test the jumplists to see if they're fixed.

    If they're not fixed, I'll restore the newly created backup and continue with the blocked updates.

    I wish I could use your advice. I don't regularly backup the system files. Just my data.

    I have tried a few things like turning off the jumplist option (taskbar settings ==> Start), rebooting. Then turning back on this setting and checking then rebooting. This just cleared the jumplist within the program/app itself :/

    If it's not resolved by say September, I may have to restore the system. Then let it do the updates until those from March 1st or so.

    At the end of the Windows update pause period, the jumplists fail even without installing updates. We must pause to the fullest:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings

    PauseUpdatesExpiryTime

    Change the year for example. Then, in Advanced Options, now allows you to choose later dates. Change it so that the pause is configured internally as well.

    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.
