  1. Windows 10 start menu still freezes


    I re-upgraded from 7 to 10 yesterday to give this OS another try. Most all of it has gone smoothly except for the start menu won't come up half the time. I ran sfc /scannow, no integrity violations. I changed the log in creds and put in a password. The reason being, the only way I could get the start menu to come back was to sign out and re-sign in. Not something I care to do all the time.
    Part 2 to this adventure is when I shut down I am getting a prompt on the screen that says, Task Host/ Microsoft/Windows/Plug and Play/Device install/reboot required. Unless I click on restart anyway, it just sits there waiting for me to do something . I sure hope there is a simple explanation for these hiccups. My OS is win 10 HP/ acer laptop/8943g/ 8gb RAM

    :)

    Windows 10 pro Creator update Start Menu bug

    Edition: Windows 10 Pro

    Version: 1703

    OS Build: 15063.332

    After I synchronized time with an Internet server from the Internet time settings, I opened the start menu and pined a recently added shortcut to the Start. The tile showed in the start menu. But after that, I tried to move the tile, the whole menu freezed
    for a few second and disappeared in a flash. I opened the start menu again, nothing changed. The short cut didn't show in the start menu.

    I've tried to reset the and reinstall Windows 10 Pro version 1703 many times, the bug was still there. In the early version of windows 10, I didn't notice the problem. Maybe it's a new bug.

  5. I ran the powershell and it succeeded but unfortunately I still get a frozen start menu until I sign out and sign back in. Why did the upgrade to this have to be so difficult?? I still get the task host shutdown prompt every now and then too. It's like I'm missing a driver or settings. I sure hope there's somewhere to go from here. Thanks My friend...

  6. Reinstalled Cortana using the following procedure:

    1. Open an elevated PowerShell window, press Win + X keys to open PowerShell.

    2. Execute following commands one at time.

    Code: Get-Process searchui | Stop-Process –Force Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}[/quote] 3. Restart your computer.

    Use my batch script to automatically close opened programs at shutdown of your computer.

  7. Ran everything as ordered and same results. Didn't get the Task Host prompt at restart or shutdown but the start menu still freezes. Like I said before, all I have to do is sign out and restart it and the start menu opens right after log-in. I went to the User accounts, and it says Local Account on top withAdministrator at the bottom. I password protected it so I thought that was enough. Is it because I'm not using a Microsoft account to sync everything? I'm just reaching because I don't know where else to go.

  8. Windows 10 start menu still freezes

    Start Menu problem nothing to do with your account is Local or Microsoft account.

    Boot your computer into Safe Mode and tell us problem persist within Safe Mode.

  9. Got it to boot into safe mode. And the start menu open easily. I take it that has to do with my apps?

  11. Run a disk cleanup elevated as admin. You may have patches pending.

  14. Tried it and thought I had the culprit but just ended up back in circles. The fact that I can just sign out instead of a restart or when I restart and the menu comes up is thoroughly baffling me as far as apps go. I'm going nuts. I've never been so stuck on something as I have on this. Would buying a new 10 disk put it in w/o the issues or would it still give me the same problems?

    I wouldn't buy a new disk. At worse, possibly a clean install of Windows 10.
