Windows 10: Start menu resets after reboot

Hi


I bought and received a new computer with Win 10 Family 64bits just today, and it worked fine at first, I deleted some apps, installed a couple of softwares and stuff.

Then I decided to clean the start menu. I rebooted, and after the reboot, the start menu is exactly what it was before I cleaned it.

Since, everytime I reboot, it does the same.


I read hundreds of messages on internet of people having the same issue, since october 2018.

I read a lot of "fixes" that don't really work for everybody (meaning it's not a real fix).


Is Microsoft working on that? I doubt it, since it has been there for at least 6 months.

Is there no solution? Are there really hundreds of people who have had that issue for 6 months and learned to live with it?


Thanks

:)

 

start menue

We appreciate your response and the information provided. We suggest that you follow these troubleshooting steps and see if they help:

• Start a CMD window (Windows-X, Command Prompt)
• Then type in C:\windows\system32\tdlrecover.exe -reregister -resetlayout -resetcache

Reboot is not required but a quick reboot may clear up any residual issues after the command is run.

Disclaimer: Corruption recovery removes any manual pins from
Start menu. Apps should still be visible, but you’ll need to re-pin any secondary tiles and/or pin app tiles to the main Start view.

We're looking forward to your feedback.

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?
