📜 What part of Winutil are you having issues with?

Tweaks

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Since running WinUtil, I can no longer pin/unpin anything to the start menu.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

I ran WinUtil and selected standard tweaks and Set Classic Right-Click Menu and Disable Microsoft Copilot

When I right-click an item that's already pinned to the start menu, no context menu displays. While in the start menu, if I click on the All > button and then right-click on any application, no context menu displays. Also, if you try to launch one of the pinned applications, using the pinned icon, the application will not launch.

I can't figure out which tweak or setting has caused this issue.

it's the "disable copilot", to undo changes apart from using backup/restore points, you can go to the "tweak" and "get installed" then undo selected tweaks, then re-apply tweaks except for copilot. i think this should be pinned, it broke start menu for non ms-store apps on start menu, also spams event log error entries.

@celengbalap Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with this for days, and your comment finally helped me fix it.

@ChrisTitusTech This is a big issue — disabling the right-click menu makes it harder for users from easily pinning apps to the taskbar or running them as admin from the Start menu.
