Windows 10: Start Menu is completely empty.

For a while now my start menu has been completely empty

I tried DISM and SFC tools but they didn't do anything.

I also tried restarting windows explorer and I tried restarting my laptop ALOT.

The Task Menu is fine and nothing is wrong with it, the only problem is that the start menu is empty as shown in the screenshot.

Hi. Steps 1 and 2 didn't do much but step 3 has restored what looks like the list of original Microsoft apps but no sign of any of the many apps I have installed. And there are no tiles in the start menu. Any suggestions please?
