![]() ![]() I don’t actually like the Win X menu, I always install Classic Start Menu and give myself back a Windows 7-style Start menu. As soon as I set both values back to the default (IsShortcut) and restarted, the Win X key worked, and right-clicking on the Start button gave me back the Start context menu. However, it seems that when you do this in Windows 8.1 Pro, it disables the Win X key. Been doing that for 20 years with no problem, from Win98 to Win7. I found a tip for Windows 98 years ago that said you could remove the shortcut icon arrows by editing these two keys:Īll you had to do was rename the two values “ShortcutIs” and restart or logout and log in, and the arrows would be gone. I have been doing this for 20 years, ever since Windows 98 came out. I had previously removed the shortcut arrow from desktop icons. I tried every fix suggested on every website I could find and none of them worked until I hit on this forum. The %appdata%\…\WinX folder is present and correct. This happens when logged in as any user, including a new, clean profile. Right-clicking on the Start Button does nothing – no context menu appears. Win X doesn’t work on my Windows 8.1 Pro computer. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for days.
