    I restored the hard drive image and all is well at the moment. I will see what happens next. Possibly a third party app is wiping out the start menu.

    Start Menu not working, solved by creating new user account


    I have had this problem for the past week or so, I tried the various fixes that had been posted, none of these worked.
    I had read in one of the posts that that a non-administrator account had a working start menu, so I decided to setup a second user account which opened with a working start menu. When I logged back into my administrator account this also had a working start menu even after a reboot. It will be interesting to see how long this keeps the start menu working.

    I restored the hard drive image I had made. I installed all updates. I have not had the problem since. My thought was that one of the updates cured the problem.

    I am running Windows 10 in VirtualBox, your reply has reminded me to export this installation in case of further problems.

    The Windows 10 start menu has stopped working. If I click on the Start button, nothing happens. I did a repair install and that corrected the problem for a few days. The problem has returned. No start menu. All updates have been installed. Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Well hopefully the new build comes soon and it will fix that problem. I haven't had that issue.

    Sounds like you got the problem under control. . .hence my idea is worthless (do a restart and do a recovery. . .Hope you have no further problems. . .:)

    All is well at the moment. But I still don't know the cause of the problem.

    The start menu quit working this morning. It was working yesterday (March 6). I installed Classic Shell, which so far seems to work fine. I can't seem to access the Universal UI (the old Metro) at all... no problem for me since I never use it.

    I have also tested the StartIsBack start menu on Windows 10. It will work fine at this point. A correction on this... StartIsBack will work with Build 9926, it will Not work with Build 10041.

    I have a problem with the 10041 build.

    I think I've narrowed it down to using the "store" app or updating/installing an app from their. After doing so when I click start I am left with the a persistent search box that never disappears and no start menu.

    I have trawled the thread, performed the action on the other page to no avail. Only thing it seemed to do was move the search box.
