Today’s quick tech tip….
How to pin frequently used Windows apps to the Start menu
Do you have one or more favorite apps that you find yourself opening over and over again?
If so, you can easily “pin” those apps to the top of the Start menu so you can quickly open them without having to scroll through the entire apps list every time.
All you have to do is find an app you’d like to pin to the Start menu, then right-click on it and click Pin to Start.
Repeat for each of the remaining apps you’d like to pin.
That’s all there is to it. From now on those pinned apps will be available immediately after you open the Start menu.
Bonus tip: Want even faster access? Try this…
Instead of selecting “Pin to Start”, click More>Pin to Taskbar and you won’t even have to open the Start menu in order to launch the app. You’ll find its icon right on the Taskbar.
