I previously had Windows 8 installed and could pin .exe files and shortcuts to the start screen, but I updated to Windows 8.1 but that option does not appear in the context menu
the .ini file of everything is exactly the same
Pin to Start screen in Windows 8.1 dont appear
Re: Pin to Start screen in Windows 8.1 dont appear
Pinning items to the start menu or taskbar is no longer easy.
Microsoft blocks the "PinToStartScreen" verb.
On Windows 8.1 the Pin to Start context menu item is only available to processes named Explorer.exe
You can can rename your Everything.exe to Explorer.exe and the context menu item is visible.
However, clicking Pin to Start will not work.
Pin to Start will not work in Everything on Windows 8.1 or later.
Please pin your applications to the Start menu or taskbar from Windows Explorer.
