Windows 10: Start Menu not working, tried sfc, chkdsk nothing works

Hi there can someone please tell me how to fix my start menu or windows system? It just happened all of a sudden I didnt even realized. I've tried everything on the internet with powershell and cmd with checking the disk for system errors etc and even booting in safe mode the start menu doesn't popup at all

Start menu not working, Cortana not working.

I'm on Windows 10 and the following stopped working:

Start menu

Cortana

Notifications on task bar

Wifi connections list button on task bar

Windows + I ( We couldn't connect to Microsoft family right now, so your family on this device might not be up to date)

I recently reinstalled windows after a failure to start up. This was done through troubleshooting. Everything worked normally for a while then things started to go wrong. I've tried running sfc /scannow without
success, restarted "Windows Explorer", I have uninstalled and resinstalled Windows applications, Nothing works.

Any suggestions other than a Windows reinstall?

Thanks

 

Start menu not working in Windows 10

I tried the two fixes in the first post; earlier I restored to a restore point. None has worked. sfc/scannow reported errors, which it reported fixed.

Not sure if any or all the suggestions above apply.

Tried local account-- no start menu.

"Windows Shell Experience Host" is not in the list of running processes.

 

Start menu not working

I found the following article, ran the suggested powershell command and my start menu is working again. Here it is as I found it:
Go to Start menu button and right click on it. This will open the contextual menu, after which you need to select Command Prompt (Admin). Once Command Prompt is open, go ahead with the following steps.

• Type and enter: Powershell
• Type the following: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
