  1. Windows Start does not work


    When I try to open anything in Windows just nothing happens, today when I tried to open any of my folders they were empty even when I open My PC was not showing Disk D or Disk C but now that it works but I still can't open the start menu. And I can't open the sound settings or when I get a new message in Windows in the lower right corner, not even the calendar and time or Internet settings absolutely nothing. I didn't download any viruses or stuff, it just stopped working. Thanks for any help

    :)

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

  4. Windows Start does not work

    Start menu is not working on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Iunderstand the frustration if things are not working fine as expected.

    Please help us with below details,


            • When you say "If I sign in under my user name I am in some earlier version", which version you are referring to?

            • Did you made any recent changes to your computer prior to the issue?

            • When you say “I cannot access the start menu and am limited to IP as a browser” Is it refers to Microsoft Edge?

    As an initial steps, I suggest you to check for the Windows version. To do so, follow the below steps:

    1) Login to your computer through user name on which it show earlier version of Windows.

    2) Press Windows key + r.

    3) Type winver, hit enter.

    For the issue related to start menu, I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft help article and check,
