  1. Start Menu, Search bar, all Windows Apps and Notification Center not working after last update


    Start menu, search bar, all Windows Apps and Notification Center don't work anymore. They simply don't open. I've installed Windows updates, restarted my Computer, tried creating a new user, tried using system repair and reinstalling windows apps via power shell. Nothing worked as of yet. If anyone knows what the issue could be I'd really appreciate the help.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 start menu, notification bar and native apps not working

    I am running Windows 10 Home edition and I installed update KB 3199986. After installing the update the start menu and the notification bar stopped working. Also I was unable to open any Windows 10 native apps like movies and TV, groove music and windows store. I assumed it was a bug in the update and thought that the next update would fix that work.

    I recently installed update KB 3200970 and the problem still persists. Even though the start menu is not working properly the docked icons are working properly.

    **Possible causes **

    I have recently been seeing activate your Windows notification when I start up the computer even though my Windows 10 Home edition is activated. Also my time is not synchronising properly.

    **Tried these solutions **

    Solution

    The solution suggests me to create a new user profile and check if the start menu is working in that profile. I tried creating a new profile and my start menu is also not working in that new one. I also tried the various commands suggested in that solution but none of them solved my problem.

    How can I solve this problem ???

    Hi John,

    Thank you for responding.

    We are glad to know that you are able to access Search bar and notification center after performing the above troubleshooting steps.

    For the issues with Start menu, try the below steps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run the below PowerShell command to re-register Start menu and check if it helps.

    Follow:


    • Right click on the Taskbar and select
      Task Manager
      from the context menu.

    • In the Task Manager window, click on
      File
      and on Run new task.

    • Type powershell, place a check mark on
      Create this task with administrative privileges
      and click Ok.

    • In the administrative Windows PowerShell window, carefully type the below command and hit Enter key from the keyboard.

    • Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
    5. Once the command execution is completed successfully, close the PowerShell window and reboot/ restart the computer.

    NOTE: When you are running the PowerShell command, I recommend you to close all the apps on your system and try.

    If the issue still persists,

    Step 2: I suggest you to try the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the below Microsoft article and check if it helps.
