Uninstalled WL, then reinstalled last full version and still no "Edit
WriteLog.ini" in start menu in the non-Admin account that I normally use.
"Edit WriteLog.ini" does show up in the two other accounts (one Admin, one
non-Admin).

in Win10?
I did what Joe suggested. In my non-Admin account, I dragged my "Edit
WriteLog.ini" icon that was on my desktop into
the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11 location. I
then looked into the WL start menu folder and it was not there. I did a restart
of the PC (and a full Shutdown) and still not there. I logged into the Admin
account and it was there! It showed "new" next to it. I logged into a different
non-Admin account and it's there showing "new" next to it. I log back into the
original non-Admin account and it's not there.
I re-installed the last update from the Admin account and it put new shortcuts
in the Start Menu. I confirmed this by the time/date of the shortcuts as shown
in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11 location.
"Edit WriteLog.ini" is still not in the start menu of the account I normally
use. It is in the Admin and other non-admin account.
Something else I did that Windows 10 did not like. I deleted "Edit
WriteLog.ini" from
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11 from the Admin
account. I then verified it was missing in all three accounts. I restarted the
PC then put the shortcut back in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11 manually. When
I did that, it crashed File Explorer every time I looked in that folder.
Also, when I went to look at the items in the WL folder in the start menu, it
immediately closed the start menu too but only when I tried to look in the WL
folder.
I re-installed my last upgrade to WL and it fixed the crashes of File manager
and the Start menu, but "Edit WriteLog" is still no showing in the one
non-admin account that I normally use. It is showing in the other two accounts.
Later I may uninstall/reinstall WriteLog to see if that fixes the problem but
it's a strange one.

I doubt it but one can try. It would take a full installer for
your current registration key.
However, one can create the missing shortcut ...
1) right click on the desktop and select New | Shortcut
2) Enter the following for the location:
C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Windows\writelog.ini"
3) Click "Next" and Enter "Edit WriteLog.ini" as the shortcut name.
4) click Finish
You now have the shortcut on your desktop. To get it into the
Start Menu.
1) Using Windows Explorer, navigate to:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11
2) Copy or Move the shortcut from your desktop to the WriteLogV11
directory (depending on whether you want a copy of the shortcut
to remain on your desktop)
