Windows 10 Start menu grayed out

Solution


Did you find a solution to this?

I started experiencing the same issue today out of the blue and haven't been able to find an answer.

Have done:
SFC scan
DISM scan
Upgraded video drivers
Reset Global Security Policies (thinking it may be user related?)

Tried other user accounts (same issue)

ClassicShell works for now to get what you need.

If you right-click on the start menu does everything on there work for you? (also Win-X menu)

Try updating gpu drivers, it has been caused by Nvidia drivers before so if you have one of those, upgrade drivers.

try running windows apps troubleshooter

search cortana for command prompt, right click the control panel option, choose run as admin
type sfc /scannow and press enter
this fixes system files and might help here
