start menu doesn't work on OS cloned with Aomei
I am trying to clone a 760GB Western Digital HDD to a Sandisk Ultra 500GB SSD using Aomei Backer Upper. I use the disk clone option, not the OS option. The original drive had 40% free and the clone went smoothly leaving 10% free on the SSD. I can boot into Windows 10 ok and it seems to work except that left clicking on the start menu doesn't work. Right clicking on the startmenue works as normal. I tried removing the original HDD before booting from the new disc and I also tried keeping the original disc in place and using BIOS to boot from the SSD. The original installation works fine with a trouble free start menu.
Before cloning I disabled hibernation, restore, and moved the pagefile to another disc. I thought the page file might have been the problem as the other disc got relabelled. However, I repeated the whole cloning process with the page file moved back to C: and got exactly the same results.
If anyone thinks they can look into this, let me know what info you need and I will post back. Thanks.
