Windows 10: Can not customize the start menu

I'm having trouble with the start menu. I can't pin or resize or drag and drop icons even though I've tried a lot of ways. I've use sfc/scannow and it said it can see there're some problems but it can't fix those. I use Store apps frequently so this nearly drives me mad. Do you guys have any solution?

My start menu icons aren't showing up properly!

I have same problem, the start menu is not working. when you click it , nothing happened. Microsoft edge and store icon are missing on the taskbar.

 

Start Menu Customizing

Exactly, the colors in Windows 8.1 still weren't the best but it is still better than just one bland color on that start menu.

 

Hello, please look at your sfc results in CBS.LOG. If you have opencl.dll listed, then that's an MS bug with Nvidia. As you haven't completed your system specs I don't know if you would see that. Likewise some report some sound files being listed- another bug. If others beyond that, then there may be a problem.

Have you tried searching the forum? This is quite a common question...
E.g.
start menu can't move tiles




Can't pin/unpin:

• Group Policy Editor (Pro only)

Press Windows key + R, type

gpedit.msc

Navigate to
local computer / policy/computer configuration/administrative templates/all settings

Ensure Start Layout is not set to enabled.
Set it to Not configured and restart,
- the problem should be solved.

Navigate to
User Configuration
Start Menu and Taskbar
Set
Prevent users from customizing their Start Screen
to ‘Disable’

• I found that I had sthg called "hohosearch" in my list of installed programs. I uninstalled it

Can't move/drag:
Hi, Someone noted here that temporarily enabling Tablet Mode may fix this.
(apologies, attribution lost)

1. Open the Action Centre
Turn on Tablet Mode (should all now go full screen)
Try moving the tiles ..
Open the Action Centre and turn off Tablet Mode
Screen should be back to normal - try the tiles again.

2. Set full screen, then revert to normal
3. Change user account to admin from user and back again if appropriate
4. Try creating a new user account
(if it works in a new user account, your user profile is corrupt, if not, Windows or a setting other than in your profile is corrupt).

You will be able to find more by using the search box above:
start menu tiles stuck
tiles don't move

etc.


Beyond that I suggest an in-place upgrade repair install (See Tutorial Section - click above - search for "in-"
This keeps all programs and most settings

 

I searched google the whole night but couldn't find a proper solution. And after trying several times as you said, it worked! *Biggrin

Thank you for your support dalchina !! *chuckle
