      I followed the instructions “How to Pin Control Panel to the Left Side of the Start Menu in Windows 10” by right-clicking on the Taskbar and selecting Properties, which brings up the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window, but there is no tab for Start Menu in that window. I only see the following 3 tabs: Taskbar, Navigation, and Toolbars.
