Sometimes it may happen that the Start menu of Windows 10 does not work. There are various methods to resolve this problem. In many cases, restarting Windows will do the job. Go to the desktop and press the key combination [Alt] + [F4]. Now select "Restart” and click on OK to confirm the reboot. Some virus scanners cause this error in the Start menu. Uninstall your antivirus software after testing. If the Start menu starts working, install another virus scanner and update it to the latest version. If the Windows Explorer is at fault then open the Task Manager by pressing [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Esc]. Click on "More Details” on the bottom left. Scroll to the section "Windows processes” in the "Processes” tab and search for the option "Windows Explorer” there. Right-click and select "Restart”.
A temporary switch from the usual Start menu in the Tablet mode can also resolve this problem. Press [Win] + [A] to show the Info Centre. Click on the icon "Tablet mode” on the bottom left. The Start menu should be displayed in the full screen mode by clicking on the Start button. Press [Win] + [A] again and then click in the Info Centre on "Tablet mode” in order to go back to the Desktop Start menu. The EDB Log file may also be another cause of this problem. In Windows Explorer,go to the path "C:\Users\Name\AppData\LocalTileDataLayerDatabase” where you can replace the "Name” with your user name. Look for the file "EDB00001.log” and delete it. Instead of "1”, any random number can be in the file name. If the file cannot be deleted then press [Win]+[X] and select "Computer Management”. Go to the area »Services and Applications« and stop the service »tiledatamodelsvc« there.
The last method is via the PowerShell. First press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Esc] to open the Task Manager. Now disable "Windows Explorer” using "End Task” under "Windows Processes”. Then, go to "File > Run new task” in the menu bar of the Task Manager and then type "powershell”. In the PowerShell, type the
command "Get-appxpackageall*shellexperience*-packagetype bundle |%{add-appxpackage register-disabledevelopmentmode($_.installlocation+"\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml")}
(without the curly brackets). After the process is complete, also type
"Get-AppxPackage|%{Add-AppxPackage-DisableDevelopmentMode-Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose}”.Finally, click on "File > Run new task” in the Task Manager. Here, type "explorer.exe" and confirm with OK.
