Then select the start menu tab.

Click the circle next to the start menu and choose customize.

Then scroll down till you see run command and click the box to enable it. Now click ok at this screen and make sure you click apply on the next screen to save your changes. That’s all there is to it, now click your start button and you should see the run command at the bottom of the start menu.
