[FIX] Your Start Menu Isn’t Working. We’ll Try To Fix It The Next Time You Sign In.

This is great and very helpful. I have also another problem my sound. The volume is extremely low. I tried for 3 days without any success.
Thanks for your help and i hope will also help me resolve the sound issue

it worked for once and now again I m facing this issue. Any other ideas?

Thank you. I have found what you say very helpful but I am not very technological and when I tried to read through FIX 1 The command to get Powershell window by typing in long code daunted me, particularly as it mentioned 32 …. and I have 64 bit whatever, so I got scared. Also the technological vocabulary is rather daunting. I’m also very busy at present and cannot attend to a lengthy procedure. Will it damage my laptop if I try to continue as I am for the next week or so? I am very grateful to you.

Good information. I didn’t feel comfortable doing this myself, so called Microsoft and they ended up doing Fix 2. Thank you for taking the time to provide the information. I was just afraid to do it myself!

I found a fix by downloading and installing the “classic start” button used for Windows 8, it works on Windows 10 also.

I cannot left click on Start. I cannot get any action when clicking on some of the icons on the task bar at the right (clock and internet, etc.) I cannot access my programs because the start button does not work.

I have tried multiple ‘solutions’ mentioned in the forums. None of worked.

Fix 1 above does not work.

Fix 3 seems drastic. I also found my way to similar screens to what you show but the options are different. There is one where you can save your files, but none where you can save your apps so I am hesitant to do that.

Fix 2 Several people mention creating a new user account as an administrator. I cannot seem to do that. Right clicking the start button and going to control panel I found the place to add users but nothing happens when I click on the options there. Help.

I had this happen about two weeks after upgrading to Windows 10 from 7. The only solution was to re-install Windows. I did a complete clean install – and that worked for six weeks. Now the same broken start menu is back. Frankly, I am seething. NONE of the fixes worked for me the first time. NONE of the fixes work for me the second time. Frankly if the only solution is to reinstall windows every six weeks – well, that’s just absurd isn’t it?

I would just like to go back to windows 7. Why doesn’t the option to go back to windows 7 display in recovery?

I just returned to Windows 8.1 (?) Since all the possible solutions didnt work for me. I hope when there’s a new update for windows 10, i wont regret it anymore.

Hi, i tried all of the FIX 1 and 2 above but they both didn’t work. Before trying FIX 3 i decided to try my luck with a solution i saw on another forum. I uninstalled Dropbox and it worked!!! after months of having this problem. I hope it remains fixed..

Removing Dropbox also worked for me and the first two solutions did not

Removing Dropbox solved the issue. Thanks guys

I had the same error. Tried both Fix 1 and 2, neither worked. In fact, adding a new user in Fix 2 would not work – [select ‘add a new user to this pc’] – it simply didn’t do anything, even after several attempts with multiple restarts. Fix 3 seemed really drastic, so I looked for other possibilities. I saw where some people discovered by uninstalled “Dropbox’, their prob went away. Well, I did have Dropbox installed, many months ago. for some reason, I did enter my Dropbox folder a couple days ago, looking for something, that’s all. Today, I went to Programs under Control Panel, and it showed that Dropbox was installed a couple days ago. That wasn’t true, as I stated earlier – I only “looked” inside a folder that was within my Dropbox. Nevertheless, I uninstalled Dropbox from this Windows10 laptop — the Start Menu in Windows 10 started working again.

Hi, removing Dropbox fixed the issue for me as well….!!!

I tried methods 1 & 2 to no avail. I couldn’t try the last part of 2 (enable start screen) since I have no working start menu from which to start per the directions What did work was to right click on my desktop, select Personalize, choose to personalize the Start menu, and change every selection. Then my start menu worked !! I personalized again and returned all settings to how I wanted them. I suggest this as the first thing to try because it was so easy. Btw, I think it is a good idea to have 2 Administrator accounts on the machine in case things like this happen to the only Admin account.

I spoke too soon. After a reboot, start menu is not working. 😢

I am going to spend some time today trying to get this working again. But I just want to say that it is **** that Microsoft enforce an update on people and then it stops working within a couple of weeks. And Microsofts solution, basically requires that I go back to command prompts to try and fix it with no assurance that it will A work. B continue to work. C. not destroy my data.

Hi
when I click the windows icon, the windows menu doesn’t come up. The system works, but it takes me longer to go through file explorer to access things I haven’t created shortcuts for.
any advice would be appreciated thank you

When I ran the troubleshooter It states that my tile database is corrupt and it cannot repair it. How can you repair a tile database?

my computer (windows 10) is stuck on restarting BSOD. The fault/stopcode is Critical service failed
