    start menu launching when I log in


    Recently the start menu launches whenever I log in. I'm happy to use it when I want to by clicking the start button, but launching on its own I dont want.Is there a setting to change this?

    Windows 10 Issues: settings menu, start menu crashes, Steam won't launch.

    Hi Parth,

    I have come across this support blog as I have been having similar issues with the start menu crashing.

    I can log on to windows 10 but Explorer is no longer in the task bar. When I go to the Start Menu a critical error occurs telling me that "Your Start Menu isn't working. We'll try to fix it the next time your log in" It then logs me out. When I log in again
    the same thing happens.

    I have tried sf/scannow- no issue found and no change in the problem.

    I have tried DISM ScanHealth, but this found no problem. It wouldn't run the restore health, telling me it did not exist.

    I have tried to log in to another local account on the computer, but it tells me the user profile cannot be loaded.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    start menu launching when I log in

    Windows 10 Start menu is empty

    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?
