    Start menu keeps popping up and resetting my windows didn't help


    I have a surface pro 3 with windows 10 on it. I'm not sure which build I was using as I tried resetting my system. Out of nowhere, without installing any new programs or anything, start menu kept popping open and I tried every solution without success. It was specially annoying since it also vibrates and kept draining my battery. Even when I restarted my PC several times when I was trying different solutions that were suggested and before Windows was loading, it was vibrating. I ended up resetting my PC with the expense of losing all my installed programs, and even during the resseting process

    windows 10 start menu doesn´t work

    Hi

    I returned to my own old microsoft account because of reason I descriebed before.

    I run Microsoft Safety Scanner, didn`t find any spyware or viruses. This issue didn`t help me to solve the start menu problem.

    I use norton as antivirus software. I tried disableing it, but also didn`t help. Only helped me unninstaling drop box programme. The start menu has been working until than, but with very limmeted functions. Don`t recieve error mesage.
    The microsoft store app program is not shown up. Microsoft Mail programme don`t work, have to use webmail. I tried again attempt reinstall apps via powershell, but without any success. I use Microsoft account.

    Thanks.

    Anton
