This article proposes the following to add "pin to start" functionality for files (besides folders) in Windows 10:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Created by TheWindowsClub
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PinToStartScreen]
@="{470C0EBD-5D73-4d58-9CED-E91E22E23282}"
Unfortunately it doesn't work even though I get a confirmation message that the keys and values were successfully added to registry. Right click on files still doesn't include "pin to start".
Any idea?

I would imagine that it stopped working after one of the twice-a-year Feature Updates. Of course, there is always the traditional workaround that will allow you to Pin to Start.
