    Windows 10 upgrade from 8.1 no start menu or any metro apps


    Hi all,

    I updated today but I have no start menu, indeed it wont run any metro apps so the search bit doesnt work.

    If I create a new user they do work.

    Unfortunately this schizophrenic OS doesnt give me the option of the revert back to my previous OS in the regular settings/control panel screen only the metro settings app which I cant run!!!??!!

    If I use the new user to get to the metro settings app I cant revert until I remove the new user I added to get to the bloody settings app in the first place.

    Total fail. Can anyone help with either getting the metro apps to run or with reverting via the command line or something,

    Thanks
    Rolf

    :)

  2. Metro Style Apps not in Start Menu

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I just purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1. The Metro Start Screen was working. On August 11th I upgraded to the release version of Windows 10. The new start menu has black (blank) space where the metro apps should appear. Existing metro style apps aren't
    shown in 'All Apps'. I've tried the following:

    1. Switch from the start menu to the start screen via Settings > Personalization. That worked but the start screen was completely blank.

    2. Re-register the apps via PowerShell using code found in this forum. That caused my entire start menu to stop working. I went back to a system restore point.

    Thanks and Aloha, Robin

    What your fisrt impressions of win 10 all who have it?

    I know Cortana from phone, still that technology need time. About Windows 10, to put all metro and configuration pages into ugly menu, did that Microsoft have people with eyes?

    Windows 10 is in something better than Windows 8.1 (first login page for example), but it is unfinished project, just like Windows 8 need Windows 8.1 Windows 10 need Windows 10.1 upgrade, especialy that ugly menu thing, that users are able to choose between
    metro configuration and menu configuration. With menu configuration apps are useless.

    Just like Windows 8 need Windows 8.1 to look on something, Windows 10 need Windows 10.1 with users choice for menu or metro configuration. For me Windows 10 is very ugly and Windows 8.1 is much better.

    That is reason why I returned yesterday from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1.
