Windows 10 Start menu button and tool bar not working

<< < (4/6) > >>

ok so now the menu seems to be working and the apps seem to be working too. however theres only a few live tiles on there but i guess thats just a question of them appearing over time as you use different apps.  however i still cant get into the store.  now when i click to go into the store a message box comes up saying: "you'll need a new app to open this ms windows store" but doesnt do anything when you click OK

Boggin:
While the following article primarily tries to deal with the Start Menu not working, there is a section on Reinstalling Windows apps which may get things going again for you.

However, your original problems may have been caused by one of August's updates which MS were supposed to have patched a couple of days later - from a Google link I came across, but as with other versions of Windows, patches can have knock on effects which just affect some users and with auto updates in Win 10, who knows what these will be and how would someone know their problems were tied to updates.

I don't know how much WR duplicates the actions of the Dism commands in Win 10, but you could also try running those.

I made some improvements to the repair app store in Windows Repair 3.5.1

Can you try it and let me know if it helps? Make sure to run the 2nd app store repair, the total reset one. I had also found some bugs that where keeping the repairs from working properly in safe mode, so there should be a difference with the new version :-)
