This didn't work for me, but my internet does not work anymore. Wi-fi is turned on, but it does not connect. It shows the small computer icon with the red cross. How can I fix this?
also, none of the above solutions worked for me.
I have a samsung laptop which I upgraded from windows 7 to 10 about a month and a half ago. 2 weeks ago the start menu stopped working, when I try to open it it says: critical error, start menu stopped working. My Windows 10 version is Dutch :/ so no cortana, I tried every possibility I found on the web, none worked. Also, my taskar icons: volume, network, time and date, battery and message center don't work when I click on them, language does work.
I did a system file checker, no corrupt files were found.
I reinstalled all Windows app, no effect
I have no avast Antivirus
I tried restarting in safe mode, when it starts in safe mode, it says (translated from dutch) it needs an app to open ms-windows-store -> in Dutch: u hebt een nieuwe app nodig om dit ms-windows-store te openen
I did a refresh of Windows 10 (without removing apps or documents, using the tool on this link: Windows 10)
I don't see 'All Application Packages' in the register-editor (as suggested here: Windows 10 Start Menu, metro apps, and taskbar icons not working - Windows 10 Forums )
All of the above didn't work. My girlfriend, who upgraded from windows 8 to 10, had the same problem after a few weeks. On that laptop the last thing I tried, refreshing, worked, all the other not.
The strange thing is that sometimes when I reboot it, when I click on the start menu button it doesn't give the error but still doesn't work, and occasionally (exceptionally) it does work, but there are no apps displayed
creating a new user profile seems pointless to me because it does not solve the problem, and a complete reinstall is something I only want to do if it's the only possible fix (documents, programs and settings)
Is the problem privacy settings? I have almost everything unselected
I hope it was clear,
thank you

I fixed mine by creating a new user account and deleting the old (corrupted) one. A silly solution but it worked. It was before I found this thread.
