    OBS+Spotify then Open-Start-Menu = PC Crash/Freeze


    If I have both OBS and Spotify running, and I open the Start Menu, any random Start Menu open-action crashes/freezes the PC.

I've tried reinstalling audio drivers including VB cable drivers, various other drivers across the PC, BIOS update, Windows service checks, ran DISM and SFC, etc, etc, nothing seems to stop this crash in this combo.I have no logs to share from OBS or Windows, as the crash happens before a log can be made, it seems.Why is this combo so strange, and wh

    Opening the Start Menu freezes PC

    Hello Leonardo,

    Thanks for the reply. I tried the steps for part of the issue from your provided solution. Appreciate it.

    However, the issue i was facing was related to opening the start menu freezes the PC. It is now solved, i think it was an update issue.

    Thanks,

    Prasenjit

    Windows 10 Start Menu freezes and crashes while editing

    I need help too please!!!

    I don't not how, what or why but ever since updating to the windows 10 update that adds in the list of **** I dont want displayed on the left panel of my start menu moving or editing tiles freeze and crash my start menu

    when reopening the start menu the tiles are still frozen and greyed out

    its as if im not allowed to change them.

    and now also my MAIL app crashes a few seconds after opening it, i did a complete reset of my mail app and it still does it.

    spent the last 4 hours trying to fix it but nothing works more specifically, the solutions I've found give me an error during 1 of the step by steps.
