Windows 10 start button doesn't work.

Hello Adrian,

Thank you for keeping us posted on the status of the issue.

At this point, I suggest you to check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different user account.



Follow the steps:

• Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
• From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
• From the displayed options click Sign out.
  
• From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.

However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set
up accounts.

Write to us again for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank you.
