Dot Matrix Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Works fine here. Have you been able to install any updates that might have been delivered since? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimdock Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I rebuilt the system and it worked second go round. I am having the same issue. How did you rebuild the system? Using a bootable image of the OS and choosing repair from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimdock Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Any Metro/WinRT code won't work if UAC is disabled from the Registry. From what I can tell I don't have UAC disabled (when looking at the GUI). Is there a specific registry entry that I need to look at? Thank you.

Thank you. You should not be thumbing through the registry to turn things "off". UAC is not meant to be disabled. Ian W 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted March 25, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2015 From what I can tell I don't have UAC disabled (when looking at the GUI). Is there a specific registry entry that I need to look at? Thank you. Maybe this works? Try creating a new local user account. After creating it, log into it and test the start menu and search option. If it works, log back out and log into your Microsoft account and see if the start menu works. If it does, great...you can delete the local account. If it doesn't...maybe someone else has the answer. To get to the user "User Accounts and Family Safety" since you don't have a start menu...try the following method: Right-click on your desktop select New > Shortcut type "control" and click "Next" click "Finish" -- an icon "control.exe" appears click the icon "control.exe" (to open the control panel) select "User Accounts and Family Safety" select "User Accounts" select "Manage another account" select "Add a new user in PC settings" (I'm sure there is a quicker way...but it is too early) You should not be thumbing through the registry to turn things "off". UAC is not meant to be disabled. /sigh Nimdock 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eiffel_g Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 For me it works, but the All Apps button is behind the Startbutton and cannot be used... Seems a bug when the taskbar is set to Auto-Hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-T- Member Posted March 25, 2015 Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 This happened to me in the previous build, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 as I couldn't resolve that or the CPU usage that seemed to be hard to track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly appreciate it. About how to get to the "User Accounts" (just to show an alternative in case anyone is interested) I had actually gotten there when I was looking at how to fix this... I went to the Control Panel by right clicking the start button. However, right after I posted those messages I ended up creating a booutable USB of 1041 and started up with it, went to 'Repair' and then 'Refreshed' the OS and that seems to have fixed it (sucks I have to reinstall my programs but at least I kept my files and settings and I am ready for anything since I know these are pretty much alpha builds so not complaining about that). A bit weird but the fact that I am not alone tells me there is a certain combination of things that causes this. I certainly had not disabled anything. And I find the "/sigh" for the second part of your response very appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Baking metro code into the OS then disabling it for people who don't want to use UAC seems pretty idiotic to me, but that's the new Microsoft for you, taking away your choices one by one.

Jose_49 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I had the same problem with 9926. It happened after I did some System Restore after having broken my search after installing Office 2016. Upgrading to 1041 fixed the issue. Unfortunately there is no fix to that, other than to disable the XAML Stat Menu or reinstalling Windows. http://www.winbeta.org/news/how-bring-back-old-resizable-start-menu-running-windows-10-build-9926 After doing that, I got the old start menu to pop ou.

zhangm Supervisor Posted March 26, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted March 26, 2015 There were two conversations here.

Ron Holder Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I just installed 10041 from DVD-iso burn this morning, after the Windows Updates that came in and I restarted, I lost my Start Menu. I was looking in the MS Windows 10 TP forums, it has happpened to many people, there doesn't seem to be a solution so far. So I tried creating a local account as suggested above, logged into that, and there's the start menu again. Logged out, back into my account (Microsoft login account), and no menu. So it HAS to be a user based setting of some kind. I guess I will log in to the local account for the time being. One off-topic comment if I may. I had 10041 installed a few days ago, I was getting these long pauses (30 seconds typically) with the disk light on solid but no disk activity (sounds of heads seeking), programs froze, everything but the mouse would lock up. Went looking for answers, hardly anyone having the problem. Suspected the hard disk had a problem (an older WD 250 GB SATA drive), installed Data Lifeguard, tried to run the long test, it froze time after time, that convinced me this drive had an issue of some kind. Got a new HD, installed it, reinstalled Win10 from the TP, end of problem. Hope a solution is found or another update is released to fix this.
