If your context menu does not contain the Pin to Start option, you can fix it using any of the following methods:
Method #1
Type gpedit.msc in the Windows 10 Run Box and then press Enter.
Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar.
Double click “Start Layout.”
Select Not Configured and click OK.
Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar. Do the rest of the above steps.
Please go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar.
Double click “Prevent users from customizing their Start Screen.”
Select Disabled and click OK.
Restart your computer.
Method #2
Open Registry Editor. I suggest that you back up the Registry before proceeding.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer.
In the right pane, find NoChangeStartMenu and delete it.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer.
On the right pane, locate NoChangeStartMenu and delete it.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > Explorer.
Look for LockedStartLayout in the right pane and delete it.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > Explorer.

Restart your PC.
That’s all.
