    Windows 10 Start Menu goes away after a few hours.


    After I restart my Windows 10 desktop the Start Menu operates as it should. But after a few hours, the Start Menu stops working. After another reboot it works again for another few hours.
    Anyone having this issue. And if so, any idea of how to fix this?

    Spontaneous sleep and "insomnia" with Windows 10

    My sleep mode setting is 1 hour. However, Windows 10 periodically going into sleep mode after a few minutes. The problem goes away for a day or two if I reboot the computer. The problem then come back and the computer goes into sleep mode after a few
    minutes, extremely annoying.

    Windows 10 Start Menu Disappears

    I just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. When I click the start menu, the menu appears, but as soon as I move the mouse, it goes away. So basically, I can't use the menu at all. I tried using the keyboard, but the menu still goes away.

    Any suggestions?

    Windows 10 Start Menu goes away after a few hours.

    Hi, have you checked your event log (Event Viewer) and reliability history (e.g. type reliabi in the search bar) for clues?

    Does the same thing happen after
    a. a clean boot
    b. in Safe Mode?

    As an inveterate minimalist, may I observe that one need type only "reli" in the search bar to get a link to the Reliability Monitor? In Cortana, that shows up as "View reliability history?" but it still takes you where you want to do.
    HTH,

    Ha, I just knew it doesn't take the whole word, and couldn't be bothered checking! Besides, I type quickly...

    I guess I will just live with it. Microsoft will not provide a fix as they don't care about their customers.

    Windows 10 Start Menu goes away after a few hours.

    Hi.
    There's an update that's started rolling out. It addresses Windows Shell, start menu tiles, graphics...it doesn't mention your problem specifically, but it may help.
    Cumulative Update KB3189866 Windows 10 build 14393.187 - Windows 10 Forums

    If that doesn't help, you could always try a repair install using an in-place upgrade. That has resolved it for many (including me at one time).

    (This latest update is huge- maybe 800Mb to over 1Gb. Many are reporting it stuck at x% downloading. Mine's been stuck at 48% all day).

    It wasn't meant to fix anything, but it does tend to show it's not an effect of an installed program or task schedule, assuming that you left your PC long enough (several hours) in each of those states to demonstrate you still had the problem.

    So, I'll ask specifically to be sure..
    Did you leave your PC for several hours in Safe Mode and did you observe the same problem in Safe Mode?

    And when you looked at your event log and reliability history, did you or didn't you see anything around the time that you observed the symptom?

    Hope you can understand why I have to ask.
