    Start Menu and Cortana Problems again!!!!


    Yes I mounted the ISO that I downloaded with Daemon tools. Just rebooted and it's the same, no Start Menu or Cortana. I'm just doing a second sfc/ scannow with finished with no errors:-

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
    (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow
    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.
    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>


    Is there anything else I can try?

    I made you do this because of files it could not fix and error from DISM which it corrected, was not sure would fix this other issue but was worth a try and it did correct corruption in system files which is good. Many other posts with this similar issue most started with the other build. Safe mode did it work there ?

    Tony why not look into professionally removing her or him meaning Cortina?

    I have been very busy for months removing 100% Cortina professionally " without any minor or major after affects *Smile

    Ps: Cortina removed on 56 units and still more to go for clients and personal friends and family

    Private message me if you want to go down that road, Tony

    Yes that's another path someone can take and one more path to add get a copy of win ten ent. LTSB or LTSB N and I believe your should be good *Wink

    Love my win ten ent. LTSB N ( I am sold this is my one and only now since win xp pro and win seven pro) I love windows 10 LTSB series

    Love also my Linux mint *Wink ( it's head to head for me with win ten vs Linux mint)

    No it doesn't work in safe mode but it does work in the other account I set up so it's some form of account corruption. I'll leave it for now and see if it sorts it's self out, if not I'll have to bite the bullet and do a format and reinstall.

    Thanks for your help

    Your welcome, not sure as said before how user account affects this as there can be settings differences between accounts privelages, but can not see how this affects start menu and cortana. Originally was there only one user account, meaning just you ?

    Same thing is happening in safe mode which will eliminate running processes and some drivers.
