Glitch in Windows 10 about Start Menu when it will not show

I just installed windows 10 on a vm and when I first installed windows 10, I clicked the
Start Buttonand the start menu did not show up. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried:
1. Rebooting
2. Double clicking the button

In build 9926, there is no such option as " Use Start Menu instead of Start Screen " anymore.   
As to your Start Menu not showing up, MS is aware of the issue.
In fact, Insider Hub has posted Known issues in 9926. One of the known issue is the Start Menu.
Here is the direct copy...... 
Start menu
When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix
this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type
http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should
make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the
Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the
Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

  • Cannot reach Windows 7 start menu when using auto-hide

    I have my Windows 7 start menu set to auto-hide. When I am using Spotify in a maximized window, it is not possible to make it appear by moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen. Can someone reproduce this?

    Hi mqh,
    the blog you got this info from assumed that the file "Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.dll" is in the path you are running the Add-Type command. Trying to acquire
    this file can be tedious, since the links are dead, I finally used NuGet in my Visual Studio to get it.
    If you use this to add the library to your current VS Project (create one if necessary), you can find the .dll in one of the project subfolders.
    Cheers,
    Fred

  • After reinstalling Windows 8.1 64bit Pro Firefox will not show a video in HTML5, only in Flash Player.

    This worked before i reinstalled my operating system. I am on the same website it worked on and now the videos will only play in Flash Player...
    I have asked the website developer if he has changed something with the player, but nothing has been changed.
    I have also reset my firefox, but nothing worked.
    My firefox version is 34.0.5, and i have provided screenshots below. Can some of the plugins i use have something to do with this?
    Please reply if you need more information about this.

  • How to rebuild Windows 7 start menu?

    Having had a virus and removed it successfully I am left with an odd problem.
    The virus, amongst other things, seems to have altered the start menu removing the "pinned" programs which is not a problem but also removing the contents from the folders in "all programs" for instance under "Microsoft Office" there is a sub folder called "office tools" (empty) but nothing else.
    The programs are all still there and work they just aren't available in the start menu. There must be a way of rebuilding this menu without having to reinstall every one of the very many pieces of software on the machine.
    Suggestions welcome.

    Start Menu common to all users is C:\users\all users\microsoft\windows\start menu.
    For each user C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\window s\start menu.
    By default these are hidden folders.
    Open using Windows Explorer and create shortcuts, copy, paste etc.
    A search pulled up this [http://softzilla.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-windows-7-context-menu-editor.html] No idea if it is of any use

  • Windows Classis Theme - Windows Classic Start Menu / Save Files Dialog

    MS, please keep a way back to the 9x interface!
    Really anoying that the Windows Classis Start menu (Windows 9x etc.) is not available in Win7.
    (and apparently no option "Always Show All Programs" option is available and the subprograms are listed in the same window which makes it a long list)
    People and commpanies want the option to go to the old-familiair Windows Classic (9x) interface!!!!
    We know it, it works and it suits the purpose: why change!
    Furthermore in a company environment all files are saved in a directory structure and not in the 'favorites' folders in the user profile. So please...make a simple classic w7 interface like XP (with a simple Save File Dialog) and not a Christmass Three with bells Interface like W7.
    [i think that's one of the reson that ofiice 2007/vista doesn't sell as it should. I'm affraid it is a marketing strategy of MS. But unfortunately I think it drives more people in to alternatives like openoffice etc.]

    The XP and later interface has always looked like something designed by Fisher-Price to me. Much more annoying, though, is the inability to go the Classic Start Menu. This is sufficient to cause me to stick with XP until it simply can't handle the then-current software. By that time, Linux should be able to run all Windows progams; it is getting closer to that now. Are you listening, MSFT? I'm an MCP with other certs, and, unless you give the option for the Classic Start Menu and a menu that shows all programs (not just a "personalized menu), XP may be my final Windows version.
    I really do not understand Microsoft's lack of logic here. They changed the interface in Office 2007 with the ribbon; millions upon millions of users were proficient with the interface prior to that, and MSFT says they have to learn a new one (I agree with Frank1977 here that it's driving people to OpenOffice). That sounds like a New Coke decision to me. Maybe they have an Apple or Linux mole in there, seeking to give bad advice purposely (for any Biblically literate readers, think "Hushai the Archite", and the advice he gave Absalom).
    I have defended Microsoft to many Microsoft-bashers at work, but this is becoming more and more difficult to do. And I'm losing my incentive to do so. PLEASE, Microsoft, add power and abilities, as you are doing, but don't arrogantly insist on forcing professional users to learn a new (and less capable) interface.
    Well said , Tewald , have considered other options lately as far as "other operating systems go" , you listening Micro soft ?

  • My Apple TV won't start. When turned on it shows an Apple TV box with a cord leading to but not connected to an iTunes icon

    MMy Apple TV won't start.  When turned on it shows an apple TV box with a cord leading to an iTunes icon. I have tried unplugging  still get the same message. Our electricity was off a few days ago. Could the HDMI cord be bad?

    It's not the HDMI cable.
    If you had a power surge, your Apple TV probably just needs to be restored.  That logo means you need to plug it into a computer with iTunes installed to restore the device to factory settings.  You'll need a micro-USB cable to do so.  Plug the usb into the apple tv in the micro-USB slot, then into the computer with iTunes already opened.  A screen will appear in iTunes with a button to restore the device. 
    If you don't have the appropriate cable on hand you can make an appointment at an Apple Store and they'll restore it for you.  Just go to locate.apple.com to find the closest location and make an appointment.  Keep in mind if you can't or don't go to an Apple Store a private repair place may charge for this service.

  • Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

    Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.  I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file.  I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild.  Any Help?!  Any Suggestions on how to fix this?!  I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
    I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

    The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
    If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database  --  if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
    If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
    You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

  • File Browser, properties, library window will not show up

    I'm using an old version of Motion 3 and my File Browser, properties, library window will not show up even when I click on the icons and/or press command+2,3, or 4 . Seems to be some kind of settings glitch as Motion works fine when logged in under another user. Any thoughts.

    schlickler,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    but now I have the preferences folder on my desktop--does that have to stay there?
    No, it can be trashed.
    Plist files contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the username/Library/Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the file name. In this case it was the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
    Proper identification of the appropriate .plist file is not always so obvious. When an application malfunctions, removing the associated .plist file from the preferences folder to the Desktop is often the easiest first troubleshooting step. Then log out/in or restart and re-evaluate the performance of the application.
    A new default .plist file is automatically created in your Preferences Folder after you remove the recalcitrant .plist and initiate the log out/in restart sequence. You can expect default application behavior and you will have to reset some preferences. If the application or function returns to normal after removing the .plist file, it will prove that the original file was corrupt, and you can now safely trash the .plist file which you placed on the Desktop.
    If the application or function is unsatisfactory with the new plist file, the original plist file which was placed on the Desktop can be safely returned to the preferences folder. Just allow the system to replace the newer plist.
    If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist file. Plist corruption is not uncommon and .plist file deletion often cures many problems. Too many users try intricate solutions first and end up complicating their minor problem.
    ;~)
