Hi @mtasrana

It looks like Microsoft no longer provides an official Start Menu Troubleshooter for Windows 10, but there are still ways to fix the issue! Here are some steps you can try:

Fix Windows 10 Start Menu Issues

Restart Windows Explorer

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• Find Windows Explorer, right-click, and select Restart.

Re-register the Start Menu

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), click File → Run new task.
• Type powershell, check Create this task with administrative privileges, and click OK.
• Run this command in PowerShell:
  Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\\appxmetadata\\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
• Restart your PC after running the command.

Check for Windows Updates

• Open Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update.
• Click Check for updates and install any pending updates.

Create a New User Account

• Sometimes, a corrupted user profile can cause Start Menu issues.
• Open Settings → Accounts → Family & other users → Add someone else to this PC.
• Log in with the new account and check if the Start Menu works.
