    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. My Start Button is present, but has changed color.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern that start button and apps color changed also you are unable to access Windows Defender.

    This issue might be due to corrupted or missing System files.

    I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check.

    Method 1: Run the SFC.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.

    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Also, I suggest you to check for the Windows updates and see if you are able to access Windows Defender.

    Steps:

    • Press Windows key and type Windows update.
    • select check for updates and install all the pending updates.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
