Start Menu and Taskbar Not working in Fall Creators Update

hi I don't know if this will help anybody

my support people reinstalled windows 10 3 times and it still didn't work

the pc would work in their office but not at home

the solution till Microsoft sort it out was that I had two external HDD connecting through usb3 when I unplugged the drives the pc worked fine when I plug them back in the taskbar and start button stop working

go figure

 

Windows 10 start menu still freezes Solved - Page 3 - Windows 10 Forums

That suggests you could check your AV isn't interfering, assuming you have one installed.

 

but before this fail creators update

bitdefender was installed without any proplem with the start menu

 

So? That does not mean the same AV or version will not have problems after a major upgrade. I believe that is discussed in that thread.

The problem is that major changes MS make where parts of the OS are written can introduce compatibility problems- users then have to report these- if enough fuss reaches MS, they then make a change in a major update released subsequently.

That's why my policy is not to upgrade, but to wait.

 

thanks
but look here The Start menu is not working after upgrading to Windows 10 Fall - Microsoft Community

I don't think all of these people who are having this proplem have bitdefender installed right ?

 

But I didn't suggest that was a definitive cause, merely one some had observed.

That suggests you could check your AV isn't interfering, assuming you have one installed.

I simply recalled a thread that might be helpful to you. If you have a look around, there are one or two more on this topic.

Could be a conflict with some 3rd party program as that thread suggests- try, as that thread suggests, Safe Mode.

And it could just be a bug in the build. There are some!

 

This has fixed the same issue for me countless times. Write down the instructions before proceeding, when you have booted to Command Prompt you cannot use Internet and browse forums to read this post:

Boot to Advanced Startup Options, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt (see tutorial: Boot to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 10).

When in Command Prompt, enter following command to remove Hidden and System attributes from UsrClass.dat file and possible log files it has created:

attrib -h -s C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass*.*

When done, delete the files with following command:

del /f C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass*.*

Restart Windows with following command:

c:\Windows\System32\shutdown -r -t 0 -f

New UsrClass.dat will be created and Start, search (Cortana) and Taskbar should work again. Notice that some Edge settings will also be reset like color theme is reset to light and home page to default. Saved passwords and cookies will not be reset.

 

I had and may still have the same issue. I had a PC that encountered the same problem but only after a restart or if I had fast startup turned off after a shut down.

I just recently bought a new PC that came installed with the CU. The first time it tried to update to FCU it failed. The second time it was successful. I had no issue with it at all.

Last night during a series of shutdowns and restarts that I was performing myself to do a stress test on the OS I only incountered the start menu/task bar issue once.

I’m honestly trying to decide if I should go back to the CU and defer the FCU before I continue setting up my PC.

Also I’ve never had bitdefender installed. I think this is an MS issue.

 

Of course you could just use a start menu that actually works... reliably.. and better than Win 10's - Classic Shell (free).

No doubt MS will respond if appropriate... eventually- if enough people express the same difficulty.

 

I ran into the start menu not working suddenly in the past couple days. It has worked for weeks after I had disabled Cortana and the taskbar has worked flawlessly the entire time.

After "letting" Cortana to work again, the Start menu will open but still not work like everything is grey'd out. So im guessing this is related to a service thats not starting or working right. So which ones are required for the start menu to run properly?

EDIT: After re-enabling Cortana(folder rename method) the Start menu did start work again. So there needs to be workaround for this. this is ridiculous, I dont use the search function and I dont want microsoft collecting my data (i dont care what excuse they use). *092

 

Some people suggests that ShellExperienceHost.exe is making Start Menu unresponsive if it suspends... now, it's supposed it SHOULD suspend and be running only if you click on the start menu, but seems that probably this process is not "waking up" properly if you try to acess the Start Menu...

have anyone tried to monitor that to confirm if the bug comes from there? I could help, but I?m on CU, and no plans to upgrade until graphics stuff and start menu work again XD.

 

Crikey,...I 've just had the 'Start' menu not working,..totally unresponsive. Same for Cortana as well. I updated (Clean Install) to FCU last week and have the latest Cumulative update. It's been working flawlessly for the past seven days. This morning though, I encountered the unresponsive problems described in this thread when I powered up the PC.

I restarted the PC and thankfully it's all back to normal but this is worrying. I Googled this and it seems a lot of people out there are having this problem.

How can this be a random event in my case after seven days of working flawlessly?

 

Happened again this morning. Seems to happen every time I start the PC from a Cold Boot. The Start menu, Cortana is unresponsive. Only a forced Restart makes everything work again. I'm on FCU (1709) with latest Cumulative Update.

This is what I see in in Reliability History.
