I'm running windows 10 home 1903.The latest cumulative update kills the start menu for me.
Clicking the start button opens up a window saying " Critical error start menu not working,sign out ..." somthing like that .
I tried reinstalling all windows store apps via powershell, restarted search service,restarted explorer process and everything
Only thing that fixes it is uninstalling the update.
I don't think that is the best solution.Anybody else facing this ? Any other solution?

It is now December and it is still broken.
Linux as primary and Windows as secondary in Virtualbox one step closer!

2019-11-04T11:21:56+00:00 Had the broken start menu after the 1903 update persisting even after KB4522355.
After doing some research on a VM, I found the culprit (at least for us).
Deleting %appdata%..\Local\Microsoft\Windows\CloudStore fixed the issue for multiple laptops/users here.
You need to be logged out with the user to be able to delete the folder. So either do it with another local admin account or remote via the \pc-name\c$\users\user-name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\CloudStore share.
