SETTINGS

Since my start button does not work, is there any other way to get to settings to view installed updates?

Yes, you can type programs and features in the search box next to Start button > click Programs and Features at the popup box > left side, click View installed updates..............

By the way, on the right side of your taskbar, right next to the Time is an icon called New Notifications > if you click it, does it open ?
If it does, there is All settings. Can you click it open ?

I guess I should have said "since my start button and the search and Cortana don't work is there any other way to get to settings". Also Notifications doesn't work. Apparently all are connected to the start problem.

Does RIGHT click at Start button still work ?
If yes, try this.................( or have you tried that already ? )
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > type powershell > press Enter > wait a bit until you see....
PS C:\windows\system32>

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 Menu again.
