StartMenuExperienceHost.exe stopped working ...

Thank You!

Still OK, but I'll give it a few days.

If this is really fixed now, I suspect the correct fix was the C++ thing all along, though the other attempted fixes don't seem to have hurt anything. Cortana in the Start Menu is still missing, but I'm 100% OK with that as long as there are no adverse side effects.

FWIW, this morning MS automatically re-installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.6161.

We'll see.

Thanks to all who helped.

@Meeker Morgan How many VC++ programs(versions) do You have in installed in Programs and Features?

It was 3, cut it down to one (as previously described), and today's update brought it up to 2.

Just a moment...
Think finally fix this issue, no errors guys. Let's hope.

ok cool. I should be getting this update tomorrow. I clicked the link but couldn't really make out if its addressing the StartMenuExperienceHost.exe error. Maybe its just included because its a quick fix.

Just checked same story MS S'hiet. The error just show after 4 hours after the update. This is kind of joke and nobody can help and the problem is so old as i see in the forums.

Store just updated itself in the background. It's a system component, but I think it's fishy that Windows has begun to update these without my consent. I hardly ever use the preinstalled UWP apps and I don't want excess "moving parts" in my system.

On another note I haven't seen the error anymore, but I've only used the startmenu recently to shut down, so maybe the crash won't have time to get logged, or maybe it's just random.
