Hi, i have aquestion on windows 10....

i recently installed windows 10 Preview on my computer... it worked fine until i got an error saying that Start Menu and Cortana are not working....

i searched around the internet and they said there should be a tab in security and recovery on windows 10 saying "Recovery" but there isn't.

I don't want to lose all my Work....
Plese help me.

Best thing to do is grab a USB drive put anything important on it and than do a full system reset and see if that does the fix. If you did install from a previous windows like 7 or 8 there's a option to convert back to it as long as you kept your old windows files.

Log in with an administrator account and see what is there.

If that's the issue what windows did you come from ? and if so than you can roll back the windows and than try installing 10 again without losing everything also you can do a reset with windows 10 by keeping your files in a windows.old file.
