Well try to fix it the next time you sign in'. A common message given is: 'Critical Error Your start menu isnt working. From the Start menu button to the Notifications, Network etc. The start menu critical error is a pop-up given to users whose start menu files have become corrupted. Start access to Settings - Open Windows Explorer, click on "This PC". Much to my amazement this actually worked - restored all lost functionality across the taskbar.
#CRITICAL ERROR START MENU WINDOWS 7#
Start access to Shut down - Right click on Start gives a Windows 7 type menu with Shut Down etc Step 1: Tap the Windows key + R button to launch the Run dialog box.

Hi, Try to restart the server in Clean Boot, and Safe Mode, check to see if the Start Menu and Search work. After rebooting per instructions above Start Menu and Edge came back, but still disappear intermittently. As mentioned above around the end of March 2016 Start Menu did not work, Search the Web and Windows, and Edge browser would not respond. If you still cannot open the Start menu after visiting Safe Mode, try to re-register the Start menu component in Windows 10. In that case, please refer to a second method which is written below. I would have expected an HP employee to be on this straightaway. For them, the Start menu still doesnt open in Windows 10.

OK, so it happened again and this time the fix suggested in the video last time has not worked.ĭisappointed with HP that they are not answering these questions but leaving it up to the community to sort it out.
