Windows 10: Microsoft confirms Windows 10 issues with network, Start Menu tiles

Microsoft has confirmed two new bugs in Windows 10 and promised that it has already started working on a fix.

As we recently reported, Windows 10 has got a nasty bug that’s disrupting the internet connection of some folks when users launch Microsoft Store apps or enable VPN connection, which is obviously annoying.

This problem was caused by Windows 10 May 2020 Update and a cumulative update released in May. In some cases, Windows 10 bug broke internet connectivity and prevented important apps like Spotify, Office, Microsoft Store, and others from getting online.

Some reports suggested that the problem could be related to VPN or proxy usage, while others said Windows 10 update broke the “Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI)”.

It still not really clear exactly what the root of the network disconnection bug is, but Microsoft says it will fix a similar issue that prevents important apps from getting online.

In the changelog of Windows 10 KB4580364, Microsoft confirmed that it has resolved an issue with certain virtual private network (VPN) connections where an authentication dialog box incorrectly prompts for credentials and network disruption is observed.

The problem has been widely reported by users and it’s finally getting fixed in the Patch Tuesday update, which is scheduled to arrive in two weeks.

In addition, Microsoft has finally acknowledged an annoying issue that could result in Start Menu with broken tiles. When this happens, you will notice that tiles are greyed out with an “app update in progress” progress bar.

It’s unclear when Microsoft plans to resolve this particular bug, but the tech giant has already patched it in a preview build, which was released in September.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft is also aware of other problems in Windows 10, including one issue where sleep mode doesn’t work as intended and ‘Reset this PC’ feature fails to refresh the system image.

Windows 9 start menu in action

The only real usage issues with Windows 8/8.1 are the Start screen and Charms bar. Luckily they're doing away with the Charms bar and they've brought back the traditional Start menu, but with tiles.

I liked the tiles, but the fact that it needed a whole screen was not very productive unlike Windows 7.

Windows 10 Start Menu all apps / tiles missing

So I woke my computer up from sleep last night and this is what I was welcomed with:




All of a sudden my start menu had no apps listed and no live tiles to speak of. So I did my googleing and I found this microsoft answer page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-b988cd6da49a

I tried every step in their. After all said and done, I got installed programs to show up, but the live tiles that usually show to the right did not come back. I was ok with that, thinking I would work on this today and find a solution to that problem.

I just woke up the computer again from sleep and the start menu is blank AGAIN. Before this started happening last night, I have not installed any new software nor has windows ran any updates.

I'm at a loss. I tried system recovery and to roll back to a few days prior, but I keep getting an error after recovery is attempted stating that windows recovery wasn't able to fully complete due to a certain file (i can retry recovery and post picture of error if needed).

So any suggestions on whats my next step? I thought maybe I had a malware issue, but II have avast and malware antibytes installed and they showed no hits when the scans where run.

Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated. Hope you all have a Great Turkey Day!

PS, I have to work today from 4pm to 6am, so If I do not reply right away I apologize.
