Weird. I get the same for right clicking both on things on the
alphabetical list and on the "tiles". I guess perhaps I have ticked an
option somewhere else in one of the Windows settings to "See more
options" or something like that.

For the tiles I have "Unpin from the start, Resize, More, and
uninstall", alphabeticals are the same without the Resize.

Think I'll have a go with "Windows Tweaker" it might make a
difference.
