    This seems to be a common problem but I cannot find a solution that actually works. I can find a way to pin to the taskbar that works but not the Start menu. Does anyone have a definitive way to pin a bat file to the start menu? TIA.

    Don't you see "Pin to Start" with you right-click on the .bat file?

    Thanks for the reply. No, only pin to taskbar. That is the problem.

    Since this is the Windows 10 forum I'm not sure what you are looking for.

    I think Bill didn't notice where the thread is.... It's all good.
    Did you see his link?

    I did but it said it will not work for Home. Odd that something that should be simple is so difficult.

    Sorry - don't have Home on any systems here. Not sure why yours is missing, or why any of those solutions don't work to restore it. Hopefully you can get this resolved. If you do, please post the solution back here.
