Did you upgrade to Windows 10 and how or did you buy a PC with it on it ? How long has this been happening ?
Have you been able to do any Windows updates before this happened ? Make sure have updates for windows up to October.
Have you added more apps on taskbar ?

I would first try at (Admin) command prompt copy and paste this and press enter, let it finish

sfc /scannow

Again after other finishes at the same open command prompt copy and paste this and press enter ,let it finish

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Reboot (restart) after both commands complete, try start menu and taskbar.

This issue has happened to many in past and this resolution has worked for some can try it after if the first one does not help.

Using Powershell

Step 1: On Keyboard Press Windows+R

Step 2: Type in powershell.exe and hit enter.

Step 3: Paste the following Command in the Powershell window and hit enter.

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

Step 4: Wait for the process to finish and complete the command, may see some red errors just let it finish.

Step 5: Restart PC, then try Start Menu and Taskbar.

This : sfc /scannow

Got this :

And doing this: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Got me this:
