  2. Shell experience not running in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Does that mean the Start menu Cortana and the Task bar is not responding?

    • Which is the current build installed on the computer?

    • Did you install any third party security application?

    • Where exactly did you find that the shell experience not running?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Hope the information helps. Please get back to us with the required information. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    If you discover that Windows Shell Experience Host is consuming high memory or resources, we recommend installing the latest update of Windows 10. To do this, you can refer to the support article below:
