1392955 2015-06-25 22:54:00 So what do you have to do to break the start menu? I'd like to give it a go to see if it applies here as well.
Like you I won't be updating my main environment for a while, but I will upgrade the Preview I have running as a dual boot on the same hardware.

To break the start menu currently simply turn off the recent items.

Click start / Settings - Personalization - On Left - Start, under customize list turn off the three settings. as shown Below:
6542

These as they state are only recent activity and suggestions. I know lots of people that dont give a damn what was recently opened and dont want it displayed.

Now reboot - On startup, the start menu hasn't worked at all (Right click does)

To put it back to a working menu, bottom Right click on the notification Icon - All Settings and turn them back on -- Start menu now works.

This has happened on every build lately. :( Huge bug that needs fixing - Whats the point of having options to turn off recent opened items if it breaks everything.

1392956 2015-06-25 23:46:00 Yup - I get exactly the same effect. It seems strange that it hasn't been fixed. Tony (4941)
1392957 2015-06-25 23:59:00 Hallelujah! I've just noticed that you can now click on a letter heading in "all apps" and get a clickable array of the alphabet, a la windows phone. I (and I suspect many other users) suggested that months ago. In what build did it first appear? Tony (4941)
1392958 2015-06-30 04:56:00 Well just downloaded from the insider program the latest Build, 10158.

THEY FINALLY FIXED the start menu .

But broken Edge & IE :(

Interesting only some sites load in both Edge and IE, others Says page cant be found, Google is one, yet google and the other sites are working fine on all other computers.

Bing half works, downloaded Pale Moon, same thing, only some sites will load.

1392961 2015-06-30 10:24:00 I was too quick this morning and checked for the update too early. Downloaded and installed now. Although it still seems to take a while to load and close down, it seems crisper once it is going. Got my logon picture showing at last! Insider hub seems to have completely disappeared from the start tiles and the start menu. Tony (4941)
