Which update fixes the Windows Start button issue?

Question

Hello,

The windows start button does not work sometimes and I did all the solutions said in https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/windows-10-start-menu-not-working-solved/, but the problem was not solved.

Which update package fixes the problem?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Thank you for that information.

Did you also perform the registry edit and then restart your PC and check if the start button is working?

Hi,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I got the following error:

set-AppxPackage' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or

operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try

again.
