Oh my, well, you're very welcome, my pleasure.
A lot of Folks have been glad of this one.
Many of us began Build 9926 w/ its native rendition of the Start menu. Obviously, it was not liked. All feelings & observations about it being conveyed via Feedback. So, now and for the moment, we can use something more appealing...
and we'll see what the next Build brings for a Start Menu. Hopefully it will be likable. By now, likely the Build Team knows / has heard the Start menu needs to be reworked. Just polish & enhance the one we had before 9926, keeping
the good parts.
Cheers,

Windows 10 Start menu cannot be resized

The start menu can no longer be resized and it only looks weird when removing/uninstalling all the tiles. This was optional in the earlier developer preview and should remain optional. This may or may not be the wrong channel to submit this feedback but
I accidentally uninstalled the Windows Feedback app and could not revert.
Windows 10 will not be any better until the start menu is back to the same function as < Win8. Why not just do a modern implementation of the start menu without rebuilding its concept?

I don't think this forum will allow anyone posting method(s) of reverting "expandable" Start Menu of build 9926 back to "resizable" Start Menu of build 9879.
Google for it. It's out there.

Office Start Menu Shortcuts Keep Vanishing!

I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Office 2013 Professional with all current updates installed. I prefer to run with Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook on the 'Start Menu' and until recently, this has been working fine. For the last couple
of weeks however the shortcuts for Word, Excel and Powerpoint keep vanishing! Strangely, the Outlook shortcut always remains! I can go to the all programs display, select them and use 'Pin to Start' and they obligingly appear, I move them into
the correct group, they stay there for a while and then vanish! It has even done it in front of my eyes! The Start Menu appeared to slide off to the right and then slide back. When it slid back into view, they were gone!
Has anyone else seen anything like this or have any idea what the problem may be?

Hi,
Was your computer in a Domain?
Please check if there is any schedule or GP to regularity reset Start screen layout.
Also, consider the corrupted user profile issue, you can check whether this issue also happened on another user account.
This issue can also be caused by corrupted system components, you can try to use this command to restore healthy:
Please make sure to run CMD as Administrator:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Is the Nightly 12.0a1 64 bit icon in the start menu for Windows 7 supposed to have a jump list for frequent pages visited and tasks (open new tab, open new window, enter private browsing)?

Both my standard Firefox icon and Waterfox icon have jump lists in the start menu and taskbar. Even the pinned Nightly icon in the taskbar shows this, but it doesn't show in the start menu. Just odd to see that the icon in the start menu doesn't offer this feature considering it does in the taskbar. I've reinstalled several times but it doesn't seem to change anything.

There are hidden settings that control the display of jump lists, check these to make sure that they have been enabled.
Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter, accept the warning message, and a list of preferences will be displayed.
In the search box at the top type '''taskbar.lists''', it will then display a small number of preferences. Check the values of the following preferences (you can double-click on them to change the value)
* '''browser.taskbar.lists.enabled''' - should be set to true to enable jump lists
* '''browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled''' - set to true to have the frequent sites displayed
* '''browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled''' - set to true to have the tasks displayed
* '''browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled''' - set to true to have the recent sites displayed
By default the first 3 settings are true, the last is false.

How to remove a folder and some links from start-menu

Hi!
An application (Kaspersky Antivirus) is installed on quite
some Win2K-SP-Workstations by the Kaspersky Administration
Kit (with its own installer).
With this installation an entry to the start-menu is made
and this entry shall be removed by Zfd 3.2-SP3. I ran
through some tests with an application-object (run as secure
system user), which only intent was to remove this entry.
First I tried by "Distribution Options - Application Files"
to remove the folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
Windows Workstations". Then I tried a "Distribution Script"
with "RD /S /Q "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
Windows Workstations"", which also failed.
Do I miss something? Where could I check the results of
those tries to get a better feeling on what is going wrong
here?
Thanks in advance.
Karl

When doing the job with an *.bat-file it works, when going
with the distribution script it does not. Are all the
windows/dos/batch commands available in the distribution
script option?

Starting Photoshop 2014 CC from Desktop and start menu states ExtendScript.dll error

I purchased Adobe CC for Student this morning and when I go to launch Photoshop 2014 CC from start menu/desktop it states:
"This Program can't start because ExtendScript.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"
If however I try to launch from the directory of the installation or the task bar it launches with non of the errors stated above I will also state that
when I go to search the directory for the .dll file its there, is there a fix for this or will I have to install this completely.
many thanks in advance!

Hi awroecreative,
Mac or Windows?
Did you run the 15.1 update from Help > updates or from the CC Desktop Application?
Try installing that, if still fails, might need to uninstall, and reinstall.
Regards

Guids appear in start menu ?

Have a problem which I think occurs when users log onto different
workstations. In other words, if they always log onto the same box, I
don't think it happens.
The problem is that GUIDS start appearing in the Start Menu Folders after
the Group Name/Description. For example, it will be correct and the user's
NAL start menu will say something like MS Word and there'll be an
application object off that which they use to launch the application. At
times, something happens and the Nal Start Menu displays MS Word {CF8EF420-
3DF3-11D0-AC35-00C04FD9338A}. The application still works but the start
menu is really ugly this way.
If I delete the user's roaming profile (from their netware home
directory), it goes back to normal.
We are using Zen 3.2, Naldesk, DLU volatile, roaming profiles, Windows XP
SP1 and some SP2.
Any ideas?

IE11 favorites 'pinned to start menu' bug - not all of these sync between Surface RT and Surface 2

answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surf2-surfgetstart/not-all-of-my-favorite-websites-that-were-pinned/
Recently bought surface 2, originally pinned everything on Surface RT in windows RT, later upgraded to windows 8.1 RT
Noticed only some of my favorite websites that were pinned to start sync'd over to the Surface 2. They were also out of order, but still in the same section of the start menu
Didn't get anywhere on the other forums. Any tips here that might help?
How does the start menu sync work?

I'm pretty sure both of my surface's are already trusted devices.
I sign in to both of them every day.
First, the sync is not instant. There should be a way to force the sync... like a sync button.
I tested this by moving some pinned things around AND changing the start background and then waiting for the other one to catch up with the start menu changes.
The Journals / website pins to start are definitely bugged between the two devices. Not all of them sync. I'm now in the process of doing a work-around. Instead pinning them to a favorites bar folder AND the start menu... until this is resolved.
It's pretty annoying and hope that Microsoft is looking in to it.
EDIT:
More info about the bug. I re-pinned the website to start on the Surface 2 (which didn't originally sync over from the RT). Now when I move it around on the Surface 2, it moves the same website, but different name on the start screen on the Surface
RT.
So it is detecting that it is the same website pinned, but the names are not syncing over. It is like it is hidden, although it's not like there is a box missing... it re-organizes / collapses the order down to appear that it isn't missing multiple
boxes.
EDIT 2:
When working on the work-around, after adding the website to a favorite bar, then going to the device that didn't sync, opening the page, then re-pinning it to start on the bugged sync device, it will insert the pin in the exact same spot on that device,
even if you name it something else - you'd think it would go to the end, but it knows where it is supposed to go... even though the sync is bugged.
I ran the troubleshooter linked here, but it just made a log. I put the result in the other forum:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windowsrt8_1-desktop/not-all-of-my-favorite-websites-that-were-pinned/bfb697fd-70f0-4cd4-ba26-9e838bb51493">answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windowsrt8_1-desktop/not-all-of-my-favorite-websites-that-were-pinned/bfb697fd-70f0-4cd4-ba26-9e838bb51493

Windows 10 9926 Bug Search field not allow text do not allow me to type anything in search box and wont allow to click start menu

Seems everything else is fine.
But I cant click the search box it just marks the Search the web and Windows but wont allow me to type anything.
And the same for the start menu if I click the windows icon in lower left corner nothing happens.
Please someone help

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by system store componments lost or corrupt. Dism command below should be helpful to resolve this problem:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

SFC /scannow & DISM are broken in 9926 they do not normally complete making things e en more difficult to diagnose.

[Forum FAQ]Start Menu Scroll Issue in Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

Scenario:
When upgrading to Window 10 Technical Preview Build 9926 from Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9879, you may notice that on the start menu, when you move mouse to the right side, it won’t scroll until you click it.
Solution:
This is because the value of the key DWORD
MouseWheelRouting which is under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop values changed to 0 after upgrade.
Note:
Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
Press Windows logo key +R to open Run, type
regedit, and then press Enter to open Registry Editor.
Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
On the right side, change the value of the DWORD MouseWheelRouting
to non-0 and non-1, for example 2, 3, which is set to 1 by default.
Exit Registry Editor.
Sign out and sign back.
Applies to:
Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926 upgrade version.

same issue in build 10049.
It would help to be more specific in the symptom description. E.g. using Narrator may help. (Win-Enter). Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is. BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

Start menu in build 9879 compared to build 9926

Hi! I liked the Start menu in build 9879 better than the one in 9926. I found a registry hack to go back to the 9879 Start menu layout, but if possible I would like an option right there in the settings for the Start menu.
Other than that, I love the 9926 build. Go, Microsoft, go! Go Seahawks!

I spent some time with build 9879 getting the start menu the way I wanted it. Updating to 9926 made a mess of it, with no apparent UI options to get back. I prefer being able to adjust the UI to my liking. If I wanted to simply accept whatever
the developer likes, I'd become an Apple customer.

I have lost the task bar/start menu, how do I get them back? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success, the other user on my computer does not have this problem.

Yesterday, I went to the site for levno computers, using my web access for my work email. I opened the page to view the outlet items and was never able to get back out of it. Finally used ctrl,alt,delete and ended the task. After that the this is what my task bar looks like, I cannot resize or exit using tabs at the top or bottom they are not showing, nor is start showing in the lower left hand corner where I like it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling that did not help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== July 9, 2010

Hello Sher.
If you're talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
