    Start menu tiles greying out after a reboot


    Is anyone else having this problem? Whenever I reboot, some of my Start menu apps tiles are resized and greyed out. Manually resizing them and repositioning them is a workaround but that shoudn't be necessary in the first place.


    Seems like a simple problem with a hopefully simple solution. Am on Windows 10 Pro, Build 1803. Thanks!

    :)

  2. Phone tile is missing from the Start Menu.

    Original Title: Microsoft Lumina 640 start tile

    Last Friday 10th June my Lumina 640 phone updated to the latest Windows 10.

    When it restarted the phone tile had disappeared from the start menu.

    When I tried to re-pin to start from the list of apps by holding down the app the "Pin to Start" function was grey suggesting that the app was already pinned.

    I have unpinned all the start tiles in an effort to find the phone tile but to no avail

    Please advise how I can restore the missing phone tile

    We appreciate your response and the information provided. We suggest that you follow these troubleshooting steps and see if they help:

    • Start a CMD window (Windows-X, Command Prompt)
    • Then type in C:\windows\system32\tdlrecover.exe -reregister -resetlayout -resetcache

    Reboot is not required but a quick reboot may clear up any residual issues after the command is run.

    Disclaimer: Corruption recovery removes any manual pins from
    Start menu
    . Apps should still be visible, but you’ll need to re-pin any secondary tiles and/or pin app tiles to the main Start view.

    We're looking forward to your feedback.

  4. Start menu tiles greying out after a reboot

    Grey tiles in Start Menu/Screen - how to fix?

    I have upgrade from Win 8.1 and have grey tiles in the Start Menu where they should be different colours. For example Cortana and MS Office are grey instead of green and red.

    It's a minor issue, but does ruin the look of the start menu/screen.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Cheers

    Paul
