If you want to have a Start Menu app in the taskbar, you don’t have to do it with the right mouse button, you can simply drag it there.

Security

With the update, Microsoft improves Windows 11 security by introducing Smart App Controls, which prevent untrusted applications, script files, and malicious macros from running on Windows 11.
