Start button and search bar not working

Problem that start button and search do not work has NOT been resolved. I have tried the steps suggested in previous answers but this has not worked. Altogether very frustrating and a big turn off to my opinion of Windows 10. HELP!

Joining Windows 10 Build 10130 to the domain the search and Start menu won't work.

Original title: Windows 10 Start menu

When I join my Windows 10 Build 10300 computer to the domain, the start menu and the search no longer work

 

Why is the 'Join a Domain' button missing?

If I install Windows 10 on a new machine and try to join the domain I can't, the button isn't there. I can't join the domain while I'm installing Windows, it says I have to create an account and join later.

It turns out that you have to go and enable the local Administrator account (which is disabled these days) and log in with that before the button is available.

I would use the Feedback app to suggest that this is not a useful setup but I'm not allowed to run that because I'm logged in as Administrator so I'm not allowed to use the computer.

I really don't understand why it has to be difficult, I'm not doing anything unusual. Is Microsoft deliberately trying to make life difficult for Sys Admins?

Is there a way to join the domain which doesn't require so much fiddling about?
