    Start Button Stopped Working

    Yesterday the start button stopped responding. Cortana works okay and right clicking the start button opens a long list beginning with Programs and Features through Desktop. I restored from a point yesterday before experiencing the problem. Did not help.
    Any suggestions?

  3. Start Button displaying but not working


    The start button was working until there was a forced reboot (power failure). Then left click (normal click) over the start button does absolutely nothing. Right click brings up a menu but "programs" and also "settings" are missing and not included on this list. Search or Task View buttons do not work either with "normal" click. Does anyone have any suggestion or fixes?
    Thank you in advance *Huh

    OneDisc Access without Start Button

    Hi Derek,

    To fix your start button, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    1. Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator.

    • Right-click on Start button.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin)
    • Type in Powershell and hit Enter.
    2. Paste the below command in the Administrator: Windows Powershell window, and press Enter.

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    3. Wait for the Powershell to execute and complete the command. Ignore the errors in red color that may pop up.

    4. When finished, try clicking the start if it's already working.

    Let us know how it goes.
