Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I'll have to try this next time my Start button goes AWOL...I have been having this problem for a few days and am having it right now. It annoys me.
I'm a computer guy and have used windows since 1990. I decided to poke around on this problem and try a few things.
I have succeeded in restoring my start menu. Here is what I did;
1. Bring up the task manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL and select task manager)
2. Goto the services tab and sort by name.
3. Find a service named tiledatamodelsvc
4. Right-click this service and restart.
