Windows 10: Windows 10 Tile Layer Database corrupted

Hello,


For a few weeks I have been unable to open my start menu, notifications bar, and get an error when trying to update my computer. When creating a new user, the problems with the start menu and notifications bar go away. Based of 3rd party websites, I am led to believe that original user account has a tilelayerdatabase error. I understand the tilelayerdatabase is now depracated, and i can no longer access the folder. How do I fix my problems since I can’t use the uncorrupted tile layer database from my new user account to fix my original user account (this fix was proposed in 2015 when the feature wasn’t deprecated). I understand i could create a new user account and transfer files from an old user, but i dont have enough space on my ssd. Is there anyway to move the files from the old user to the new user (start menu working, etc) while similtaneously deleting the old users files so that i will instead just stay the same in my ssd space usage. (Basically moving files instead if copying)


thanks!

:)

 

Start Menu corruption: "Tile database is corrupt"


Thanks for your reply. I tried both methods, but unfortunately no success in fixing my tile database corruption.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Otherwise, I can live with the problem as-is since it is relatively minor.

 

Corrupt Start Menu and Tile Database Layer Win 10 PRO 1709

My PC recently updated to Win 10 PRO Fall Creator's Update Version : 1709. As a result, the start menu on my Account, which is a Microsoft User Account (not local) is missing many shortcuts. My Tiles are missing also. I ran the Windows 10 troubleshooter,
and it said my Tile Layer Database was corrupted, however the troubleshooter could not fix. All other system and file continuity checks I've run show no other problems.

Per other posts, I created a new Local user account with ADMIN privileges. It seemed to have a full working Start and Tile Menu. When I tried to make the new account, it said (of course), that I couldn't use my Microsoft User Credentials, as an account using
those credentials already existed.

Questions:

Is Microsoft working on a fix ?

Can there be 2 login ID's both with the same Microsoft User Credentials on the same PC ? If so, how do I create the second one ?

Is there a way to make the new account I created, log in with my Microsoft User Credentials ?

I appreciate any assistance.

Thank You

 

Start Menu corruption: "Tile database is corrupt"


Since updating Windows 10 to version 1803, I noticed that at the bottom of my Start Menu there is a category "Other" and one item under that category listed as "ms-resource:appDisplayName". When I click on it, it opens a page in Windows Store where I can check for app updates. I figured this is not quite right, so I downloaded and executed Microsoft's Start Menu troubleshooter. It came back with "tile database is corrupt" and "not fixed".

So I then researched and attempted some manual fixes on the tile database, but no success. This involved creating a new user account, and then copying and replacing the corrupted database with a clean database from the newly created user account. For whatever reasons, that did not change anything.

I have also successfully executed Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. And sfc /scannow reports no integrity violations.

I do not have any other issues with the Start Menu, so I think I can live with it as-is. But if there is a relatively easy way to repair it, I'd like to try.

I understand I could do a reset of my Windows 10 install, but that is more than I want to do to address this relatively minor issue.

Thanks for any info.
