[QUOTE="JakeXPMan, post: 912789, member: 29270"] If it's just the Start Menu that's acting up, it can be from a single windows update; this windows update below might be where it came from, or more steps might be needed to fix this. I would try this one first, ... if you have the update KB4517389 installed. Uninstalling can fix this issue... here's how, [I][SIZE=6]How to fix Start menu critical errors after updating to KB4517389[/SIZE][/I] To uninstall Windows 10 update KB4517389 and resolve related problems with the Start menu, use these steps: [LIST=1] [*]Open [B]Settings[/B]. [B]Quick tip:[/B] As a result of the Start menu being broken, you can open the Settings app using the [B]Windows key + I[/B] keyboard shortcut.
