'Today' meant that windows repair never worked for me. And nor did it (i.e. Windows repair) worked today.
2. Yesterday night I reinstalled a clean windows and started installing my needed wares. I read your post and created a disk snapshot thru 'Rollback'. (I thought I would use Marcrium also, once all my wares are installed).
3. Today everything was ok, then I upgraded my NVidia display driver and finding that later version wasn't as good, uninstalled my later version. Still everything was ok.
4. Then I installed 3 wares: SoundForge13, Movavi Suite 15. And Adobe Master Collection CC17.
It was in the end of CC17's installation, that my taskbar got hung up. And I had to end task the explorer task. But even that didn't work and I logged off. And when even that didn't satisfy me, I had to reboot. And after this reboot, I found that taskbar and start menu aren't ok (i.e. Cortana Win10 start menu isn't showing and clicking taskbar volume and network icons doesn't produce any results).
5. Now since I have Rollback's image before these, I'll try to revert back. But my intuition tells me that even rolling back to that snapshot isn't going to bring back Windows start menu. In my view, the damage is such that even rolling back won't help. But that's I'm to see after submitting this reply and then rolling back.
I'll report back.
