  1. Critical error -- Your Start menu isn't working


    When I turn thepower on my desktop PC, the opening screen with the picture usually includestext and a prompt to like / not like the picture. Now it just has a picture.Although I am able to sign in with my number code, if I click on “Start” orpress the “Windows Start key” I get the following message: “Critical Error --Your Start menu isn’t working. We’ll try to fox it next time you sign in. SignIn here.” But when I Click on “Sign in” and restart, the Start menu is stillnot working.

    Are there any "proven solutions" to this problem? If there are, I would be grateful for assistance.

    :)

  2. How to fix Critical Error - Your Start menu isn"t working.

    Hi Barrett,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per your query, you get critical Error with Start menu not working on your system and we are glad to assist you to fix the issue.

    This issue may occur due to corrupted Windows system files or due to any third party antivirus software installed on your system.

    I suggest you to refer the following response created by Ravinath P on “Critical Error – Start menu and Cortana aren’t working. We’ll try to fix it the next time you sign in.”

    “Critical Error – Start menu and Cortana aren’t working. We’ll try to fix it the next time you sign in.”

    Disclaimer: Antivirus software can help protect the computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it
    as soon as you're done. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time the antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    As Microsoft Edge browser is not working. I suggest you to create a new user account profile and check, if it works.



    Create a local user account in Windows 10:
