Thanks for the tutorial!
For some of you: Make sure you "restart" and no shut down and reboot. On the final I restarted and it worked
1. Open the task manager
2. Scroll down to the "Windows Processes" section
3. In this section find "Windows Explorer"
4. Click in it and select restart.
Worked for me!
i did what you said but did not work for btw thx for trying to help gave you a like
@@AIWhispererYT Thanks!
@@pavlokanevskiy8969 Am still watching how to fix start button videos oh men am tired
am glad your computer is working for you
@@AIWhispererYT RIP
@@pavlokanevskiy8969 what do you mean by RIP
Thank you so much! Even though this is a 2 year old vid, still fixed my computer and eased my panic attack. Step 5 was the winner, but step 4 might've had something to do with it as well. Thanks again
Started my computer this morning and was experimenting with cortana. The start button and almost everything on the task bar disappeared. I went through this up to running the long command and everything came back after the restart. Saved several days of work re-installing applications. Thank you very much!
I'm am truly sick and fucking tired of windows 10 bullshit so much shit is breaking
same here
lol mine is awesome
same here
MuchoMuchoMachie same
MuchoMuchoMachie not working for me too
Thank God! It's working after doing 'clean-up' and repair. A lot of thanks to you. I was in dark regarding this, nobody wasn't able to suggest an alternative except format & reboot. Finally, Windows & Cortana working after a long period of time. May God bless you man!!
Thanks Brian, I wish I had those extra options available before I reset my PC, good to know there is more options. I could not make a new user as the window did not pop up to create one, thats why I formatted.
Great videos thanks again.
+Zendukai Yeah forum can be long winded and time consuming for both me and the person getting support.
Some days ago (I think shortly after Windows 10 1903 Update) my whole Taskbar and Windows menu and settings included Display Settings could not be opened anymore. So I followed your steps till redoing Sfc /scannow and it worked after a restart!!!
Thank you very much Sir!
Just changed my Windows 10 username and got this lovely bug.
Same for me bro
@@mukeshraj2040 bro way to necro a comment.. This was 4 years ago damn lmao
Really?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
tqqqqq very much I bought a Dell i7559 lapy 1day before..I'm using my lapy and suddenly start and Cortana search not working only this pc will work...I'm scared about that because new lapy its cost was 120000₹... but I followed u r video now my lapy rocks TQ....very much dear
One other way to fix this error.
1. Start "cmd" with admin.
2. In cmd type
" chkdsk c: /f "
3. type Y in cmd
4. Reboot ur pc
5. Wait until the process is finished
(This takes around 5-10 minutes)
6. Now ur done!
+Adam B Thanks for sharing. I sure it will help someone.
+Adam B This did the trick for me. Thank you very much!
+Adam B , Merci beaucoup, c'est cette solution qui est ok pour moi !
+Adam B Just followed your method . short and sweet. You are very kind. Thanks a lot. Your method is the shortest and easiest to follow.
+THA ARCHIVES type Y then reboot your pc
It worked! My search option was not working for last 3 days! Now my problem was solved after step 5 is completed and reboot. Big thanks.
Uninstalling dropbox worked for me just fine... thanks mch....
I watched and completed the steps throughout the different videos and nothing helped! However, your video was a huge success😆. I was so close to throwing my PC out the window, but you saved me. Thanks a bunch!!!
Damn thank you!!! I fixed it with this tutorial! I thought I would have to call Microsoft and be hold for 30 minutes. You're awesome. ;)
Tried all the steps nothing worked for me.....but the last step ....the ine about resetting worked perfectly....thanks Sir for ur informative and helpful video.....i really appreciate it
If you have dropbox delete/uninstall it and it will do the work...proven
In my case, I could open some stuff from Cortana but not apps, and the win key and click were not opening the start menu. I have done all the instructions until step 4 and without rebooting all start working. Thanks a lot for such a great explanation.
When I do sfm /scannow once it reaches 55% it says, "Windows Resource Protection could not preform the requested operation".
You just turned a non tech savy woman into a youtube believer! My start menu and Cortana is working again!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
In solution 6, pease add "} at the end to help copy/past
Very great video, i'm sure it helped alot of people. However none of these solutions worked for me. Tried it several times as well with a totally new Windows 10 installation.
Turns out there's a setting that i couldn't turn off because Cortana and search indexing would freak out if i did.
The settings that i left untouched were in the "Privacy" settings.
1. "General" > Check (turn on) "Let Windows track app launches to improve Start and search results"
2. "Background apps" (at the bottom) > Check "Let apps run in the background", then UNcheck all apps you don't want running and it should work.
This got me a bit confused, since there are no mentioning of Cortana or Search indexing in those areas, but it worked for me.
Thank you, so much!! My cortana got messed up somehow... *cough* Tried to get rid of it *cough cough* and literally the first step fixed it lol
thanks a lot for your video ... for me the last step worked that is "Reset OS" ... I lost all my apps (not the native ones) ... that wasn't a big deal. Anyway, that proved that one or more of the apps hindered with the working of OS! Some of these ill effects were - start menu not working, cortana not working, Store button not working, right click not working on tray, unable to clear or add anything to tray, discrepancy with standby or user login page
Thank you for your video. My problem is intermittent an happens once a day or every other day. And it happens on both users on my system. A simple restart will restore the start menu, Cortana and the notification window. I have tried everything in the video up to but not including a reset since I would have to reinstall all my apps which is quite time consuming and again there is no guarantee that the problem will not return. I have simple questions. Does Microsoft recognize that this problem is a bug? If so, are they working on a fix? Right now this very annoying. As an end user who just wants to be productive, have to go through the pain of resetting my machine is not appreciated. I would like to see MS take responsibility. However, thank you for all the grate service you provide.
2 years later the bug still exists....
@@essix-4659 2 years later this bug still exists...
Thank you so much! I followed your first 4 steps and start menu is now working. All error message issues have been resolved. Tremendous help.
Great video Brian, just out of curiosity what is your main OS on your 5820K machine? The reason I'm asking is because you seem to be making a fair amount of videos relating to problems with Windows 10.
+Sid Cannon Windows 7 and Linux
Britec09
Cheers Brian
+Sid Cannon You're welcome and yes all the spy crap is removed lol
Britec09
That's the main reason I'm still on Windows 7. If there was no spy crap on 10 I would probably make the move. Also on 7 I still use anti-beacon cos MS are c**ts.
+Sid Cannon Yeah I am still using Windows 10 with dual boot with Linux
if you are in 2018 and the search bar isnt working do what he says int he video. it works. thanks man!
I have tried EVERYTHING, even some of the comment section suggestions, but it is still not fixed.
I dont know what to do :(

I have a problem with my windows 10. I just finished the reset instructions but it's kind of getting me stuck in opening picture which is the cave showing the two isle. A kind help regarding on this matter will always be valued for a lifetime of thanks
? my start menu opens , but it's take lone time usually , is that a problem or my computer is shit
I have found this on a forum, I have tried everything else, (Step 6 worked, but U did not want to migrate my account.
I found this solution on superuser, and huge thanks again for Fleet Command.
Enjoy:
"Do either of the following:
Create a new temporary user account with Administrative privileges, log out of your current account (very important) and log into the temporary account
Start your computer in Windows Recovery Environment
Delete, rename or move the following folder:
C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy
Note: In Windows Recovery Environment, C: can sometimes become D:, E: or even F:, depending on your computer's configuration.
Log back into your original account.
Cortana will not work immediately. (It is busy recreating the folder you just deleted.) But when it does, everything will be alright. Don't forget to delete the temporary user account.
Important notice: By the time I reached the conclusion to do this, I had ascertained that Windows Search Indexer was working okay and it was Cortana's problem that didn't show the result well. My evidence was that Cortana could find literally everything else (including my music) and searches from File Explorer worked well.
Fleet Command"
It seemed to have worked for me. I went through the list as described. Took ages without success and finally I got it. It did fix certain programmes as it showed on the screen. Always check the comments they can help. I brought the list up using ctrl+alt+delete.
for solution fix 6, it isnt scanning or anything? after i press enter nothing happens. is this normal? how long do i have to wait. pls help me. this is driving me nuts
Same
Same
it is probably because u guys copied the code from the description, but what you guys missed is that the there is a " missing and a } at the end
ITS FINALLY FIXED. JUST UPDATE YOUR WINDOWS 10. thats all.

It's just my Cortana and Notif. I cant cheek my wifi or anything. Im really tired of Windows 10 and their B.S.
TaxenKiss same thing with me
TaxenKiss yoooo it's been a year and you probably wont reply but did this fix it? Or did you do something else?
Reigne oH wait your reply was a week ago can u help I'm having the same issue
Ajdawolf i had to fully reset my pc like reinstall windows to fix it, it's most likely a corrupted windows file, i woild just save the time and effort, reinstall windows over night and be done with it
Reigne oy vey, did you keep all your files and stuff like pictures? I have a lot of drawings that I've made and I don't wanna lose em gah
Thank you very much! You were the only person I've seen who actually provided a working fix for these issues.
im going back to windows 8
Cxeri93 good fuck off
Unstopxations Shut the fuck up
@@Clappy6969 why would ypu even say that
Thank you for your help. One thing that might make it better is to note that the command lines are below in the description. One small error in repeating it makes the command makes it look like it won't work. Just a label within the youtube video at the right time would help and make it more popular....all the Best. Victor Brodt, aka GreenDog
my computer is totally cleaned out i dont eveen have task manager
Alex he said he dosent have task manager and Jmack then you dont have windows
Thats sad bro
Solution fix 2 worked ,the menu came back at around 29 % .Scan must have dislodged some piece of code or other....Thank you very much.
Its good to see all possible fixes for WIN 10 Start Menu issue neatly put together in a video.
I've tried the solutions enlisted in this video, however I'm unable to fix this issue on one of our user PC.
Finally I decided to go with complete re installation of WIN 10.
I went to the windows site, they said to fix this problem, restart and update. It worked for me.
Thanks after applying so many techniques i failed but your worked.
omg!! what a life saver you are! i almost lost all hope of ever fixing this start up problem. believe me i watched every tutorial on youtube and failed! but the second solution you gave worked like magic for meeee! thank you so much! 😭 subscribing rn! ❤️
Listen to Britec09 when he said go thru all the steps one by one and you will find a solution... Thank you for the help..
Thank you, I had this problem and this video solved it. I searched all over the internet but their solutions didn't work for me. Thanks
+Aramus Raynier Glad it worked out ok for you
Thanks it worked! 2 hours on the phone to HP and no joy. 10minutes watching your video and it's good to go.
SOLVED - I leave this here to help others… After trying many complicated supposed fixes across the internet (such as the above), the following worked for me.
Cause = may be to do with a window sizing issue, where the start menu size gets messed up and is super small or off the screen (I have a multi screen setup with imperfect connections so sometimes the screens are cycling through on/off which may have thrown things out)
MY SOLUTION IS:
Go to SETTINGS > PERSONALISATION > START > then toggle all the toggles…. I changed them all but I suspect that turning on “Use Start Full Screen” + using 'full screen start' + then reverting to 'regular start' kicked the start menu back into gear.
Start menu is now back working without issue.
My problem is ... i cant even open up my settings 😞
I have watch almost all of the tutorials on how to fix start menu but this video is the only one that works, Thank You Brother, you're really helpful. :D
Thank you kind Sir! step 4 worked for me, my wife thinks I am so clever now! But I did tell her that you are the clever one not me :)
I tried each step and the very last step switching users helped me thanks
thanks man first step worked for me i was suprised
it was eating up my cpu too
Went through everything. Didn't work. BUT, my Windows updated 18th June 2021. Uninstalled the update. Everything worked again. Thought I'd let you know. Cheers.
Thank you so much sir. I have tried to fix the issue for 3 whole days and nothing works. (My entire Task Bar: Start Button, Search, File Explorer, Internet, Microsoft Office Program etc. everything freeze up). Luckily, I found your video. By creating a new User account, all my problems are solved! Frankly, Windows 10 has given me so much trouble, I miss the old reliable Windows 7 very much. It never gave me any issues. Windows 10 is by far the most horrible Operating System I have ever encountered. They should not use something worse to replace something that works good. It's not the machine or software that goes bad. It's the people who create them, they get greedy and throw ethic away for quick profits, meanwhile the customers and Mother Earth suffer for all the garbage they create. From how they build things nowadays, we learn so much about people, companies & CEO. Can't they just listen to the suffering customers for once?
Had this problem yesterday. Tried some of the techniques shown here as well as other sites. Nothing worked until I tried rebooting in Safe Mode (via Msconfig.exe). In Safe Mode the Start Menu and taskbar icons returned. From there I restarted in Normal Mode. Works fine so far. (Should add that I also uninstalled Dropbox as I heard that could be part of the problem. Unsure if it made a difference).
You would have installed it before if its on your system. I don't believe its included with Windows 10. To search for it, open a folder. Then on the left directory column, scroll to This PC, then in the upper right search box put Dropbox (it should be saying Search This PC when you do). To reinstate, I have no idea if that's what made the difference as I was trying 2 things at once.
Your video was most helpful and it worked! I had tried several other sites until I found yours. You are great at explaining and showing what to do. Again, Thank You so much!
Thank you very much! I couldn't find the right steps how to fix it, not even at Microsoft Support, but you, with your video, I was able to fixed the Start Menu after few weeks of frustration. Much appreciated!
this video was extremely helpful! After watching numerous videos similar to yours, I finally watched this one and you broke it down and gave alternative options in case the previous one didnt work! Thanks to you my start button is working and all my icons on my taskbar have reappeared and are fully functional. I cant thank you enough as my online winter session college course just started yesterday!!
Its Actually Amazing.. ThankYou Very Much. My cortana&search has been in problem¬ working. I tried many methods to resolve&revert back It. Not all working And decide to reinstall Windows. But before It I Accidentally See Ur Video,Finally Only Your Video given a full Fruitiness To My works without reinstall windows.Thats Even From First Step itself!
Once Again ThankYou VeryMuch ...
Thanks a lot, mate. I used the sixth solution and it fixed it right up. Creating a new account also worked, but too much of a hassle to move everything over.
Been forever since I used sfc snannow, honestly forgot about it up until now. Worked like a charm, Thanks for the vid Britec :)
Thank you so much ❤️😘At last my computer back to normal ❤️❤️♥️👄
Thank you it did work for me once and now is not working again. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Something is wrong with Windows 10 update.
I happened to get this problem now after installing facebook messenger and Iobit software. Did the solutions 1-5 and shutdown reboot and it worked. Hopefully it stays fixed. Thx for the vid.
Cortana is the only problem to me thanks this video helped me out :::)))))
IT WORKED ! Thanks. But why should a consumer OS be so bloody fragile ?
I've subscribed. After six minutes of your video I did the reboot and all is fixed. Thank you.
Thank you so much. It worked for me after trying so many other methods.M Glad that i watched your video. It was really helpful. Thank you for this.
i love man this happened to me about 6 months ago and i had to restart my pc to fix cuz i couldnt found the video, and now the same thing happened and the ''cmd'' method worked for me thanks soooo much a new sub :)
DUDE thank you sooo much
this has taken me 2 days now to fix this finally a real working video bruhhhh
Actually worked first 12 minutes i haven't wasted on a scammed video
Worked very well, but I did have f=to run SFC and DISM twice to fix all the problem files.
Great information! This is great information. I completed the steps up to the reboot at min 6:28 and it is now working fine! Thanks! ............ john Las Vegas
Thank you so much! my search bar has been broken for well over 4 months now and Fix number 6 fixed it. Thank you!

Thanks man.... This video really helped me.. had win 10 for a while now and just recently started having issue where start wasn't working. did 2 steps from video and worked for me :) thanks again.
Greetings,
It worked for me the first time. Corrected all 4 of my computers.
U DA BEST
Vinny
BTW...I thought I could improve performance by removing Cortana.
Dude! THANK YOU! You sound that actor from Dr. Who, and your tutorials are awesome!
Thank you for this. I lost hope after going to the fourth solution but made it to solution 6 and it worked perfectly.
I'm not very technical and i was still able to follow this and fix my issue. TY
THANK YOU !! Excellent and easy to follow. Took a few steps, but just as is suggested in video, keep going until its fixed....and its fixed !!
I tried ALL these methods, the only thing that solved my problem was to install the latest update of MS Windows (Anniversary Edition). Save yourself a LOT of time and try this first.
I am really offset with this problem. Thanks for your instruction. Really helpful.
thnx for the video the last step in powershell did fix my issue
Thanks a lot!! Worked within 4 steps.... Was struggling with the issue for really long.. Thanks again :)
Thank you for your help!!. It started working after the second solution you gave. Hope that will be the end of the issue.
I'm so relieved it worked for me.
You are a Actual genius man.
Thank you so much.
Many thanks !! First section of the video fixed the problem!!!!
