Start menu all programs disappeared

The all programs selection in the start menu disappeared in build 10041. How come?

All Apps disappeared. That is why I have a problem.
Just my speculations .......
Is the Start Screen expanded ?
If yes, UN-expand it. It could be that the transparency feature has obscured the "All apps" option.
Could it be that you have a small screen that you need to use the scrollbar to see everything ?
Thank you.

  • Can't Move or Remove iTunes 7 Start Menu Shortcuts

    Once iTunes 7 is installed, it creates a set of program shortcuts in the "start menu > all programs" area. I often reogranize these shortcuts myself post-installation.
    However, when I move or delete the iTunes 7 shortcuts from this area, the next time I start the iTunes program it runs the installation / configuration process again and restores all of the program shortcuts.
    It does not care if I remove the desktop or quick launch shortcuts, but as soon as I change the start menu programs shortcuts it throws a fit and restores them.
    Any fixes / explanations for this, or is it a legit bug?

    This appears to be an intentional "feature" of iTunes 7.

  • I have some windows minimized. When I try to open up another window from the start menu, even the minimized windows open up.

    When I first open up a window from the start menu, just one window opens up. But when others are at the bottom (minimized) and I go to open up a new window from the start menu, all the minimized windows open up, too.

  • The "recently used programs" section on the start menu has disappeared - how do I get it back?

    On the start menu, the top few programs are those that I use frequently. There used to be a line, and underneath the line appeared the programs that I have most recently used (other than the frequently-used programs above the line). This bottom section has disappeared - how can I get it back? Running XP with Firefox 33.1.

    This is a Windows question, not a Firefox question. Try using a search like www.bing.com/search?q=restore+recently+used+programs+windows+xp for help.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Windows 8 Start Menu Disappeared Items

    When I logged in my windows 8 I was surprised when I found that most of the tiles that were in my start menu disappeared even the desktop tile and the store tile. 
    I found an article that suggests downloading the apps shortcuts and pasting them in this folder 
    %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
    but when I opened this folder I was surprised again to find all my tiles shortcuts there
    Nothing is missing at all even the desktop shortcut and store shortcut are there
    So, what is wrong?
    Why don't these apps show up in the start menu?
    I don't remember doing any thing the last time I used my laptop except uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Basic 6

    Version 8.1 windows start menu back, You also can use third party software is very simple, allows you to select various types of Start Menu Display
    I installed it on your laptop and is amazing!

  • 2nd Satellite where Start Menu Disappears

    My fiancee just bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop a couple of weeks ago.  It was meant to replace an  older one that seemed to be deteriorating as well as help us make the jump out of XP (I have my own desktop).  One of the problems that had been happening on her older one was that the start menu would disappear and re-appear, making it necessary that we hunt down all those relevant programs the long way.  One day, it finally disappeared for good.  That system had Windows XP on it.
    This one has Windows 7 and it has the same problem.  Just today, the start menu vanished.  I don't know if the start menu will return or if it is gone for good but I have never seen this problem before except on the two Toshiba laptops I have become familiar with.
    I would like to know this is easily fixed or if I should avoid Toshiba computers altogether.
    Thanks in advance.

    Satellite A505-S6980 
    when clicking on the Windows icon, the items that have normally appeared on the left due to frequent use or from having been pinned to the start menu are gone.  All that remained was "My Toshiba."
    So you're saying the Start menu is essentially empty? Use System Restore to bring it back.

  • How do I remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu?

    So with three separate builds of WTP I've run the PowerShell command to remove Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps. With each build, it also removes the Start Menu. In the thread below, an MS Support person mentioned that that command was only for Windows
    8.x and shouldn't be run on WTP. What? Then why is that command still available? And, why will it remove some Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps, but not others? Are they marked as System required? Why isn't the Start Menu marked as System required? You'd
    think that the start menu would be pretty important.
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/053f63bc-c174-44f1-8f6c-8ead1ad965fb/spartan-and-start-menu-on-10049?forum=WinPreview2014General
    So, with the start menu being an XAML app, how do I safely remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu? I have no use for them and don't want them on my computer. Period. There has to be some command like the one we used
    in Windows 8.x that will allow use to remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu.
    Don't give an answer like "just right-click and uninstall". That doesn't work for all of these things, and do you know how long it takes to do that for all of those silly things? Too long! That's also not practical for an Enterprise desktop. It's
    also not practical to leave all of that junk on the desktop, so don't suggest that either.

    The problem with PowerShell and all of those scripts is that those particular scripts require a lot of typing, or copy and paste, or having to figure out where all of those apps are stored and then insert their convoluted names into the script. For
    me, scripting is like programming. I have no desire to be a programmer/developer.
    I just want an option in Programs and Features to be able to turn these "features" off. We were able to do it in previous versions of Windows. If we didn't want Internet Games, we uncheck the box. If we don't want our users to be able to print
    documents over the Internet, we uncheck the box. And so on down the line for any other "feature" we didn't want our enterprise users to have.
    Or, we could turn those features off using the System Image Manager. Now we have to write some convoluted script with even more convoluted commands for even more convoluted names for things we don't want.
    The easier script in Windows 8.x was just get-appxpackages -online | remove-appxpackages. That removed the majority of the apps for an individual user. The remove-appxprovisionedpackage command, with the convoluted name of the app, would remove them from
    the hard drive - one app at a time, but that doesn't work in Windows 10.
    So, they came up with a DISM command, but that doesn't work in Windows 10 either. I should say that with my limited developer skills I haven't found a way to make it work.
    Again, I have no desire to be a developer/scripter. They are the same thing in my book. I'm a systems engineer. I do operating systems, not write applications.
    Dan
    So, I guess there is no real answer to this question.

  • After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

    I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • How to get deleted programs in the start menu?

    Hi,
    I foolishly deleted (by accident) my all programs folder on the start menu.
    This has emptied the programs folder on the start menu through windows explorer as well.
    I still have access to all of my programs by searching for them or by going through program files. How can I rebuild my start menu back to the original WITHOUT reinstalling windows or anything like that.
    Unfortunatly, I can't do a restore because it is set to do a clean up of all old restore points, and it did this about 5 minutes before the problem occured.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Hi,
    Is there any way of getting all of the links back without having to do them manually.
    There must be a way of restoring or forcing the computer to research for all of the installed programs on the "Vista C" drive. I have tried going through the RegEdit but that hasn't helped at all. The CMD code that I got off another forum doesn't work either.
    Thanks for your reply though

  • Reconfig of Oracle 10g, Programs in Start Menu.

    Hi
    1. My window on C: drive was corrupted, and my Oracle 10g was o D: drive.
    2. I installed new window, reconfig my Oracle 10g Database.
    3 But i have lost all utilites/program listing of 10g, appeared in Start Menu.
    Plz, tell me the way how we can reconfig this thing in our window.
    Thanks.
    Regards
    <The above Question was posted on Database Installation Forum two-3days ago, I thing no can answer this>

    If you reinstalled the oracle product this is enough to have your menu 'rebuilt'. It actually doesn't rebuilds the menu, it rather creates new entries.
    I suggest you to take a look at the installation forum where you posted this same thread. At the installation forum I initially understood you didn't reinstall the Oracle Home, but you 'reconfigured your database'.

  • After installation, why isn't PP CS4 showing up as a desktop shortcut or in Start Menu Programs?

    I have a new desktop for editing and have Windows 7 Pro loaded. With all other applications off, I installed PP CS4 with my program CD. Everything went smoothly without errors. When I wanted to open PP from Start Menu Programs, it wasn't listed. All of the accompanying Adobe software was listed except for Premiere. A shortcut on the desktop didn't appear either. Premiere is listed in the Control Panel under Programs & Features. It is also present in my C drive Program Files (x86) folder. Any thoughts about what happened and how I can fix it? Thanks!

    Hi Jim!
    Sorry I haven't responded for a month. I've been out-of-state on a family matter and have just returned.
    Here is what's in the PP CS4 folder:
    I followed the links to install the Windows Virtual PC feature into my Windows 7 Pro OS. I have attched the following screen shot that shows in the Note section at the bottom that the virtual application feature is not supported in Windows 7 Pro.
    Please let me know which way I should go from here.
    Thx!

  • Start Menu Program Group/Folder Evaported

    OK, so I really tried to find hints in the forums & knowledge base, but I guess my search-fu just isn't up to it; thus apologies if this is boring:
    I'm running CS5 Design Premium on Windows 7 Home Premium x64; all are patched & up to date. I just noticed today that the start menu folder for Creative Suite is missing. I've tried exporing for it in the hard drive but it is missing there just like it is on the start menu. The applications are still installed and I can start them directly from their exectuables. It's just that the folder in the start menu has gone missing. I have no clue why or how long it has been, a few days at most.
    While I'd love to know how it happend, I'd be satisfied if if there was a "repair install" facility that will recreate it, short of actually reinstalling (and re-patching) the whole thing, which seems silly, or building one by hand, which seems tedious. The control panel "Programs and Features" entry seems only to be interested in uninstalling.
    FYI I also have Lightroom x64 and Premiere Elements installed, in the unlikely event that it matters.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide,
    --Bob

    Well, yes, of course; this is what I meant when i said "building one by hand". But there's 14 links in there, several of which I would never have remembered. Many applications -- including ones that cost far less than CS -- have a "repair install" option that will go look for and fix any such breakage, and I was wondering if CS could do that, or if the only other option was in fact to fully uninstall the product, reinstall from distribution and re-download and apply all the patches. One solution (manual reconstruction) is highly error-prone, while the other (reinstall) is very time-consuming. I was lucky to have a filesystem backup, so that's a third solution but not one that will be available to everyone.

  • Windows 10 Start Menu not updating with the newly installed apps or programs

    I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise Preview inside a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V instance.  I've been installing a lot of different applications for testing & I've come across a strange problem.  When I install a new application, it doesn't show up
    in the start menu.  If I search for the app, it comes up & I can launch it, pin it etc.  Next time I log out & log back in the application is there.  I first noticed this when I used Programs & Features to add OneNote into Office
    2013.

    Aha, that may well be what I experienced too. The first thing I
    installed on Win10 was one of my own products, and while it installed
    and worked fine, and the start menu items could be found by searching,
    my product directory was not showing up under All Apps.
    A day later I installed another product, and after that I noticed that
    I could see both this new program's directory and my own. A subsequent
    product installation also showed its program directory straight away.
