Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about the Win10 Start Button no longer working and wanted to help.

With MS pushing out Win10 updates every week, it's not uncommon for a working PC to suddenly have things stop working.

Wish this was a simple fix, but as this linked thread shows, this is not:  Taskbar/Start button not working! - Windows 10 Forums

All I can suggest is that you work through that thread and hopefully, one of the fixes will work.

Good Luck

I am a volunteer and I do not work for, nor do I represent, HP.

Thak you for your answer to my question.

I didn't even think it might a software problem related to a Microsoft or Norton update.

Your answer was spot on.

Then I got to thinking what else could be done. I thought that if I could find where the restore point screen was, I could restore the computer to a point before the problem started. That did the trick.

I thank you once again for your answer!!!

Here is how to fix Start Button Not Working Issue In Windows 10

1- Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator.

2- Paste the following command in PowerShell window and press Enter key:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

3- Wait for PowerShell to complete the command.
