Can’t Open Start Menu in Windows 10
Problem: After upgrading to Windows 10, I can’t open the Start menu or Start screen. Everything else is working super fine, but the Start menu or screen simply doesn’t work even if pressing the Windows button on the keyboard or Start button on the Windows taskbar.
Solution: This probably happens due to the improper installation of system files. In order to resolve this problem, please follow the steps given below:
- Open the Run dialog by pressing Win+R
- Type “sfc /scannow” and hit Enter
- A blank command prompt will open and close (in a flash, maybe)
- Restart the PC to check if it helped
In case it did not work, then follow the following process:
- Search for “cmd”, and right-click & choose ‘Run as administrator’
- Type in “Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” and press OK
- Restart the PC after the scan completes – it will work
