    Start Menu Critical Error


    I feel like I have tried every troubleshooting tip out there, except doing the Recovery>Reset option because I have so many apps and settings I've worked to personalize, it would be a nightmare to get everything set back up.


    Yet, I still can't get the Critical Error to go away. I've tried every CommandPrompt I've run across, tried rebooting in Safe Mode, downloaded the troubleshooter which was only still available on one site I found, went to a previous restore point... But, I don't know where to go from here.


    The only other thing I can find that looks promising is the 3rd fix because I obviously tried the other two on this answer:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...al-error/fafb5cf5-d18c-4e77-886b-be265095feb8. I'm a bit more inclined to go about resetting Windows 10 this way as it seems as though I have the option to keep apps and settings. I went pretty far through it to see what was involved.


    I'm just not 100% ready to pull the trigger yet if there could still be a less invasive fix out there. Is there anything else I could have missed to correct this????


    I'm running 10 Home v2004.

    :)

    Start Menu Critical Error

    Critical Error Start menu

    I have same problem and none of the posted suggestions work. I did a system restore and it almost works except the start menu is not properly organized and the programs are listed in a different than normal manner. after a few hours when I click on the
    start menu the critical error pops up again and says it will try to repair on the net login, which does not repair the problem. but if I do a restore it will work for a few hours and then repeats
