  1. Why Do I Have to Sign In Every Time I Start My Laptop


    Windows is now making me sign in every time I start my laptop now. Just happened this morning for the first time since I got this laptop 8 years ago. I haven't changed anything. When my opening screen picture lock screen? comes on, there is no personal photo in middle. I push the ESC button and the photo appears, with the sign-in box below. What's going on? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    :)

    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?
