Check How To Pin/Unpin a Folder to Windows 11 Start Menu
For faster access, Windows 11 allows you to pin folders, drives, apps, contacts (People app), Libraries, OneDrive, network locations, and certain Settings pages to the Start menu. Stuck areas can be quickly opened with two or three clicks. For Store apps, the Start menu shows Live Tiles (as long as you keep the app locked), so you can see useful updates initially.
Outside of the container, Windows 11 allows pinning only executable documents (* .exe) to the Start menu. Assuming you are not satisfied with this limit, you can bypass it as shown in the article.
