Start menu

Question

I have Windows 10. When I pin folders, etc., to Start, I am unable to organize them as I would like. When I drag an item to the desired location, the item just bounces back to the place where I found it. How can I have items stay where I put them?

Answer 1

Greetings.

I could not find the search bar because I had removed it and forgot.

In following your instructions, I was not able to find  NoChangeStartMenu anywhere.

Thanks for trying.

Hello GeraldKnight2,

Please click on search bar and type in regedit

Press enter and registry editor should open

Visit these two keys and look for for a value named: NoChangeStartMenu

If you find the value right click on it and click delete
