- A bug that broke the jump links in the start menu was previously reported with the April update of Windows 10
- This problem actually floated in previous updates (return to February)
- Microsoft solved the problem, which linked to a modification to make a panel linked to the Microsoft account in the start menu of Windows 10
Remember this Windows 10 problem, where the April update for the operating system broke part of the start menu for some people? The good news is that Microsoft has solved this bug.
If you missed it, it was a problem that meant jump lists – additional options that appear with a right click on an icon – no longer worked properly for certain applications in the Start menu.
Windows recently attracted Microsoft update to the problem, both confirmed that this bug was (or was) present in Windows 10, and also that it is now corrected.
In an update of the Health Release dashboard, in the known problem section, Microsoft recognized the bug and admitted that it was more widespread than the last cumulative update of April for Windows 10. In fact, this false start -up menu is present since the update of the (optional) overview of February.
Microsoft explains that the problem related to the contribution in the “control experiences” of the Microsoft account on the start -up menu, a limited deployment which started in March 2025. (So it would also have been present in the update of the end of February, which was an overview of the full version of Mars.)
Everything that was going on with the introduction of this functionality made the functionality of the jump list disappear for some Windows 10 users. By realizing this, Microsoft interrupted the deployment of this addition linked to the Microsoft account on the start menu on April 25. A fix has also been killed.
Microsoft says: “This [jump link] The problem was resolved by a change of service that was deployed on April 25, 2025. If you are still faced with this problem, please make sure that your device is connected to the Internet to receive the automatic resolution that has been deployed. After the following restart, this problem should be resolved. »»
Analysis: Blues in feedback
Windows last, which knew this problem on some of its Windows 10 PCs, confirmed that the bug is now cured on these devices, so it is to hear.
Although jump lists – which offer additional context -sensitive capacities for certain applications in the Start menu, such as opening files recently used, “ Jumping ”, perhaps them – may seem a fairly minor thing, some people use them a lot. And this broken feature has really spoiled the workflows of these Windows 10 users, and has seriously bored them (as you can see in some of the complaints broadcast online).
At the time when this bug was reported for the first time, I guessed that this could be the result of Windows 11’s return features, and it turned out to be the case. The Microsoft account panel presented in the Start menu is already in Windows 11 and is brought to Windows 10 – or it was, anyway, although this work is now interrupted.
It can be (and probably) still incoming, then, even if I don’t really know why Microsoft provides additions for Windows 10 at this stage, when the operating system has less than half a year on the clock before the support is exhausted. This is perhaps a measure of the importance of the company to promote the visibility of Microsoft accounts.
