    Start Menu and Search bar aren't working, Critical Error warning


    I turned on my computer and my desktop background had been turned black and all my icons moved to one side. Everything in my hot bar was also gone


    I click on the start button and an error pops up that says the following:

    Critical Error
    Your Start menu isn't working, We'll try to fix it the next time you sign in.
    Sign out now

    I then restart my computer and the error persist. I try everything from a full shut down to unplugging it once off.


    all my other apps seem to be working fine except my resolution seemed to be down.


    I had to right click on start to access setting where i then made a few updates but i wasn't that far behind.

    I tried some other online fixes to no avail


    Anyone have any new ideas on how to fix this?

    :)

    I have the critical error message at startup. CRITICAL ERROR START MENU AND CORTANA AREN`T WORKING will try and correct next time you sign in. Sign out now

    The same message appears next time

    I sign in. It is impossible to get past this screen as you have no start menu. Any help would be appreciated
