Windows 10 Bug

[jarydvalmonte]

Am I the only one experiencing the start menu not showing up even though I keep on pressing the windows key or the start menu icon on my computer, I have to restart my computer everytime this happens and its kinda annoying. Any fix on this? Thanks.

This is corruption of the start menu components sometimes caused by malware, sometimes not.

Sometimes if you boot to safe mode and then reboot into normal mode that will fix it.

If that does not fix it you have a corrupt install and you should backup your files and reinstall windows 10 or if you think you can

open a powershell window:
Open an admin CMD prompt and type"powershell"

then copy and paste in this: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

hit enter and wait for it to finish then reboot.


This page has some fixes and if you google search the issue you will find more.
This is the MOST common windows 10 error

I have just upgraded my win 7 to win10 through the windows update, I have scanned my computer and everything is fine.

You can try running command prompt as an administrator and then type sfc /scannow and see if it finds any corrupt files. If that doesn't work then I would recommend that you perform a clean install of the 1511 fall update and then let it install every single cumulative update before installing anything else. I've run into several issues myself with the start menu including portions of it that were super slow to materialize. A clean install corrected these issues and if you've never done it don't worry on 10 as no keys are needed during the process. It will automatically activate after you boot the first time since MS is using the hardware signature.

What is the build number?
The latest preview is 14257. There has been no start menu issues with the last 2 or 3 builds that I am aware of. I have another computer here that is on build 1511.

I had this before but only on the initial release. After 1511 update it fixed it for me. I would assume that you have that version, but double check. Go to start > Settings > System > About and it will tell you right under the Edition what Version you have.

You might try going into settings and seeing if you need to force a few updates.

Sometimes they are a bit slow updating in the background.

I tried running this in windows powershell:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


I'll see if the problem has been fixed in a few days, right now I am not experiencing it.
