    Here's how to fix only fullscreen start menu opening if you have tried everything else.

    Start menu only works on fullscreen (W10)

    This issue really annoy me as I cannot open the start menu normally as usual. But I can open start menu when I set it to fullscreen

    I don't understand why this happened, and I tried sfc, restart Explorer, Safe Mode, etc. Nothing happen.

    Windows 10 Start Menu won't open.

    Hi Dougie,

    Corrupted system files could be one of the reason why Start Menu is not opening.

    As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps listed in this article:
    Troubleshoot problems with the Start menu or Cortana
    see if it helps resolve the issue.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    How to fix start menu after update?

    I have the same problem, I tried the suggested fixes but it did not work... The only change after rebooting is that I do not see a "critical error window" open when I click on the start menu anymore. I have no idea what to do. Any brilliant idea out there?
    Thanks!
