    thanks a lot for your video ... for me the last step worked that is "Reset OS" ... I lost all my apps (not the native ones) ... that wasn't a big deal. Anyway, that proved that one or more of the apps hindered with the working of OS! Some of these ill effects were - start menu not working, cortana not working, Store button not working, right click not working on tray, unable to clear or add anything to tray, discrepancy with standby or user login page

    One other way to fix this error.
    1. Start "cmd" with admin.
    2. In cmd type
    " chkdsk c: /f "
    3. type Y in cmd
    4. Reboot ur pc
    5. Wait until the process is finished
    (This takes around 5-10 minutes)
    6. Now ur done!

      I have found this on a forum, I have tried everything else, (Step 6 worked, but U did not want to migrate my account.
      I found this solution on superuser, and huge thanks again for Fleet Command.
      Enjoy:
      "Do either of the following:
      Create a new temporary user account with Administrative privileges, log out of your current account (very important) and log into the temporary account
      Start your computer in Windows Recovery Environment
      Delete, rename or move the following folder:
      C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy
      Note: In Windows Recovery Environment, C: can sometimes become D:, E: or even F:, depending on your computer's configuration.
      Log back into your original account.
      Cortana will not work immediately. (It is busy recreating the folder you just deleted.) But when it does, everything will be alright. Don't forget to delete the temporary user account.
      Important notice: By the time I reached the conclusion to do this, I had ascertained that Windows Search Indexer was working okay and it was Cortana's problem that didn't show the result well. My evidence was that Cortana could find literally everything else (including my music) and searches from File Explorer worked well.
      Fleet Command"

    Thank you for your video. My problem is intermittent an happens once a day or every other day. And it happens on both users on my system. A simple restart will restore the start menu, Cortana and the notification window. I have tried everything in the video up to but not including a reset since I would have to reinstall all my apps which is quite time consuming and again there is no guarantee that the problem will not return. I have simple questions. Does Microsoft recognize that this problem is a bug? If so, are they working on a fix? Right now this very annoying. As an end user who just wants to be productive, have to go through the pain of resetting my machine is not appreciated. I would like to see MS take responsibility. However, thank you for all the grate service you provide.

    Had this problem yesterday. Tried some of the techniques shown here as well as other sites. Nothing worked until I tried rebooting in Safe Mode (via Msconfig.exe). In Safe Mode the Start Menu and taskbar icons returned. From there I restarted in Normal Mode. Works fine so far. (Should add that I also uninstalled Dropbox as I heard that could be part of the problem. Unsure if it made a difference).

    • @lochshiel
      @lochshiel 8 лет назад

      You would have installed it before if its on your system. I don't believe its included with Windows 10. To search for it, open a folder. Then on the left directory column, scroll to This PC, then in the upper right search box put Dropbox (it should be saying Search This PC when you do). To reinstate, I have no idea if that's what made the difference as I was trying 2 things at once.

    SOLVED - I leave this here to help others… After trying many complicated supposed fixes across the internet (such as the above), the following worked for me.
    Cause = may be to do with a window sizing issue, where the start menu size gets messed up and is super small or off the screen (I have a multi screen setup with imperfect connections so sometimes the screens are cycling through on/off which may have thrown things out)
    MY SOLUTION IS:
    Go to SETTINGS > PERSONALISATION > START > then toggle all the toggles…. I changed them all but I suspect that turning on “Use Start Full Screen” + using 'full screen start' + then reverting to 'regular start' kicked the start menu back into gear.
    Start menu is now back working without issue.

    Thank God! It's working after doing 'clean-up' and repair. A lot of thanks to you. I was in dark regarding this, nobody wasn't able to suggest an alternative except format & reboot. Finally, Windows & Cortana working after a long period of time. May God bless you man!!

    Thank you very much Sir!

    Final Solution worked for me:
    It is a maleware that causes this problem.
    1- Download, install "Malwarebytes" and let it do the magic for you (Quarantine all detected files and locations in registry... Repeat the process several times).
    2- Disable system restore temporary.
    3- Run Malewarebytes for the last time (to delete infected files in C:\$RECYCLE.BIN if detected).
    4- Manually delete the infected folder if "Malwarebytes" could not clear the files in it.
    4- Re-enable system restore and do a restoration check point.
    6- Hurray, your Start menu and Cortana search are both back to normal.

    At step 3 after doing the restore health command its says-
    'The source files could not be downloaded. Use the source option to specify....... ........ '
    So do I need to connect to Internet so it could download the files?
    Pls reply.

    I am suffering from the same problem .
    As I tried to create a new task and open a Powershell or CMD ... It is that option of "create this task with administrative previliges" to tick it.
    And there fore no command works as it says "you must be an administrator running a console session in order to use this sfc ...."

      amanda Willis hard one that but I think I might have a solution. What you can do is get a separate hard drive or usb flash disk and take files from your main account and put it on the other one. If you use a flash disk it will take a bit longer but it should work. Hope I helped!

    I am using Windows 10.
    After installing startisback has no desktop icon no installation of directory no icon in control panel. Its just has the following path from where its running
    👉 "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\StartIsBack"
    👉 I want to uninstall it completely from Windows 10 but when I did somehow now my windows start button is not working. If I install it again then it's working on the base of startisback which is different from windows 10.
    👉 I googled everything how to fix windows start menu. Not finding solution. So I want to uninstall it completely and get my windows 10 start menu back.
    Please fix my issue as soon as possible and reply me back
    Thanks.
