So this is a long question, but the short version is I need alternate fixes for this problem.
I have started to receive the "Critical Error Your Start menu isn't working. We'll try to fix it the next time you sign in." error.
Computer OS:
Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7
The error began maybe 2 weeks ago, and up until today it has been mildly irritating but the computer hasn't been used consistently so it has not been a problem. Now I need to fix it so I'm actually attempting the different fixes available.
Already Tried, and results:
Reboot to Safe mode.
Operation: Pass
Fix: Fail
Computer successfully boots to safe mode, but upon restart in normal problem still persists.
Powershell Get AppX
Operation: Questionable
Fix: Fail
After running Powershell as an Admin and running the command the prompt displays numerous red "Fail" prompts as it is unable to complete for different Apps. Reboot afterward does not resolve the problem.
Uninstall AntiVirus
Operation: Fail
Fix: Fail
Uninstall failed to complete due to an error in Apps, Antivirus cannot be uninstalled.
Add Administrator Profile
Operation: Fail
Fix: Fail
Button to add another user does nothing. Can be clicked and let sit, or clicked numerous times, this option does nothing no user is added, does not fix problem.
Run Ati-Malware/Anit-Spyware
Operation: Pass
Fix: Fail
Found numerous PUP applications and settings, removed all as not needed for system operation. Reboot afterward did not fix problem.
Run boot-time scan AntiVirus
Operation: Pass
Fix: Fail
Boot time scan found numerous corrupted archives in user files, no viruses detected, no root kits detected. Corrupted files deleted, restart and still problem is not fixed.
Uninstall Unnecessary Applications
Operation: Pass
Fix: Fail
All applications not used frequently deleted. Reboot and still problem persists.
System Restore
Operation: Fail
Fix: Fail
First restore point tried was corrupt, second restore point tried entered system restore state. After 1 hour of system attempting restore it boots to a prompt stating something to the effect of "Apps error, System Restore failed. Attempt to Restore to alternate point, or close System Restore." No alternate points available. System restore unsuccessful.
At this point I am at a loss for things I can try to do to resolve the problem shy of a complete Reformat Reinstall. I would like to avoid this option if possible. Moving needed User Files to an alternate device for storage during reinstall would be a massive undertaking and very time consuming so if anyone has any other suggestions I'm open to try.
Thanks in Advance,
