Install didn't work

[bianson]

Upgrade seems to be fine. Normal Windows 10 desktop and taskbar, however the Start icon doesn't work when clicked and nor does the search window allow you to type anything into it. Any suggestions?

Try using the native System File Checker and see if that produces any information.
Right click the Start Button and choose Command prompt (Admin)
type
sfc /scannow
hit enter
wait till it finishes and see what it says.

Yes...but as I said, the Start icon doesn't work when clicked.

How about the Windows logo key on your keyboard combined with the X key?
Does that work?
If not can you browse to
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe right click it and choose "run as administrator"
then type
sfc /scannow
hit enter

Was able to access via C:\Windowss....
ran scannow and windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations.

You did say Start icon doesn't work.
But, I think RIGHT click at Start button still works. Yes ?

If yes, try this method......
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > type powershell > press Enter > wait a bit for PS C: \windows\system32 appears >
At the flashing prompt, copy and paste this.........
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
> press Enter.
Ignore any error in red.
When finished, try Start again.

Sorry...right click doesn't work either.
