    Reset Start menu to default


    I have just set up a new laptop and for some reason the start menu has corrupted. The programs no longer line up in a column but are in the centre of the screen in several columns. I read up about changing the TileDataLayer but cannot find this now in Widows 10 even in hidden folders so I guess the solution I had looked up was an old post. Does anyone know the current answer to reset the start menu to default?

    :)

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    Hey guys I need your help fixing the default access icon on the start menu, as far as google searches suggested default user access and all it only fixes the IE icon, but when I chose fire fox to display it's just a globe when clicked on it still displays IE's properties but doesn't start firefox instead. Help please? *Respect :respect:*Cry :cry:

    BTW it was not like this before, I just wanted a clean install for my browser.

    Reset Start menu to default

    Start Menu and making default apps issue.

    Hi Joy,

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better:

    • Did you install all the pending updates on your system?

    I suggest you to follow these steps below to set Google chrome browser as default browser.



    1. Type Control Panel in search bar on your system and open Default programs under Control Panel Window.

    2. Select Set your Default programs under Choose the program that Windows use by default.

    3. Select Google chrome browser as default program in the Set your Default programs Window.

    4. Then click on OK and check, if it helps you.

    Also refer to the section "Try the troubleshooter"
    in the link below and check if it helps:

    Troubleshoot problems opening the Start menu or Cortana:
