Start Up And Annoying Pop Ups
Oct 18, 2015
New laptop set up by store Windows 10. hard drive failed after 3 weeks so new machine given !!!! and set up done again. This time it is completely different and I dont know how to correct it,
1 at the start I only have those damn tiles and my "list" to the far left is missing, like the one in Windows 7. how do I get that back, is there an easy way as im not techie
2 when im on any page, if i move my cursor from right to left i get a clock and options bar to right it just appears.
I just want the windows 7 start up list back and the damn floating clock gone, then maybe I will start to like Windows 10.

I got an email today titled 'Welcome to Windows 10 Getting Started Series'. I hate being pestered like this. It said in the email:"f youve opted out of receiving email, youll only get one more in this series" but I can't find any way of verifiying if I've opted out. I went to my microsoft account and looked all over but couldn't find anything that confirmed if I had opted out or in. I suspect ms deliberately designed it this way to make it hard to do so.

I wanted to add some programs to the top of the left side of the start menu (free space on the screenshoot). I have read about the "Pin to Start List" if you rightclick while holding shift. But this seems not to be working anymore!?!?! Is there another possibility to customize this list or to re-add the function? I don't want to use "recently added apps" or something like that ...

I'm running the RTM on a netbook and have noticed that, unlike in Windows 7/8/8.1, I'm no longer able to hit Start and type in an executable. I have a bunch of portable apps that I typically type in and pull up. Now, the Start menu search pulls up ever OTHER file except the executable. It's very annoying and don't see why this shouldn't work.
What's worse, is if I pin the app to the start menu, it doesn't search it then. Say, I pin "puttyportable.exe" as a shortcut (and rename it to just PuTTY) to the start menu. Typing in "putty" gives me nothing - just the same associated files that were in the puttyportable folder (ini files, etc).

Whenever I log-in from hibernate or boot, the start interface shows. I had this enabled in Windows 8.1 (start screen), but now I'm on 10 (no start screen) and it still shows.
There is no option to disable it. Is there a registry key to disable this?
P.S. My start screen is normal, not full screen.

I installed Windows 10 very recently and I like it, but I have a VERY BIG show-stopper: when I try to do search in the start menu, it's terrible; it cannot even find an application that I have manually pinned to start. I didn't have any such problem with Windows 8.1. I have also installed some other desktop applications, for example GitHub for Windows, but when I start to to type "Git...", it only finds "GitHub" and it cannot find "Git Shell" and I have to go to all programs, find "G", then expand the folder for this application and run that application.

I have just upgraded from Win 7 Ultimate to Win 10 build 10240
The sart menu button does not activate anything, search doesn't either, Notification bubble does not open anything either.
Safe mode produces same behaviour, I have uninstalled AVG Anti virus as some people were correlating AV software with this behaviour.
I can right click on the start button but not left click

This problem is on a desktop computer (HP Pavilion). When I click the start button, the start menu does not display. Pressing the Windows key on the keyboard also does not take me to the start menu.
I can access the right-click menu on the start button and most of the items on the right-click menu respond correctly when clicked (a few don't. No response from "Search" and "Desktop"). I installed Windows 10 over a month ago and have had no problems until now. Everything was working fine yesterday and to the best of my knowledge I have changed no settings since then.

Any of the items under games in this screen shot will not pin to my Start Screen? They will pin to my taskbar though. It's windows 10 Enterprise if that matters. I can right click and select Pin to Start, but nothing happens. Right click again and Pin To Start is still listed as an option, but doesn't do anything?

On startup, I have it set to display the Start Screen without the Start Menu. When I exit an app the Start Menu is displayed and I have to click the Windows icon to once again display only the Start Screen (tiles only).

While trying to discover why my most used list was not showing up on the start menu, I learned that when I right click on the task bar and go to properties, the Start Tab is not present where it should be.

I recently updated my 4 year old acer laptop to win10. I have a calendar program called "windates" I placed a short cut in the system startup folder but the program does not start when I boot up my laptop. I did put a short cut on the desktop which works fine. Everything else has been working fine with win10.

Here's a screenshot of "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog from a fresh clean install of Windows 10 Pro x64
As you can see, despite its name, it does not have a tab for "Start Menu". I remember that Preview versions of Windows 10 had a "Start Menu" tab. Did they just remove at the last moment? And how I change Start Menu options without that tab?

I've not got the 'Start Menu' tab in my 'Taskbar and Start Menu Properties' control panel (right-click on taskbar). I've seen screenshots on the web, but my Win 10 Pro doesn't have. How can I enable?

No system restore point.
What happened is that I installed an app and I accidentally clicked "Install" for a chrome plug-in. It removed some shortcuts on my start menu and I was just "Okay. I'll just pin them again." And at this point I already scheduled a chkdsk for c: so I restarted my PC first. But when I came back I found out that Pin to Start is gone. I removed the chrome plugin and the app itself but still, the problem is still there.
EDIT: Cannot drag from "All apps" list to Start Menu icons area also. It shows a red error circle. And when right clicking a shortcut on the Start Menu, there is no "Unpin from Start"

Build 10061, clean install. Had issues with Start Menu and Search not working at all but disabling Radeon Mobile GPU and switchable graphics in BIOS, using the onboard Intel HD GPU only they both work now without any other issues than the one mentioned in the title: I simply cannot pin anything to Start.
The option is there when I right click any Start Menu item, it's just that nothing happens when I select it:
Pinning to Taskbar works but the items cannot be pinned to Start. The Start layout reset as told in this tutorial does not fix the issue. I was suspecting my relocated Users folder might have something to do with this (I have sysprepped Users to E:) but I am quite sure this is not the culprit because I do the same on all my Windows installs and all other machines, both physical and virtual work as they should.

I am trying to pin a folder from my internal hard drive I use for storage to the start menu. I figured out how to pin the main folders(Documents, Pictures, Videos...) to the start bar but I can not figure out how to pin any other folders.

no matter what I try, I'm unable to pin to start - this is the standard 10240 build. Win 10 Pro (my desktop)
I believe I had the ability to pin in the past but now all of a sudden it just doesn't exist.

I could not power up my desktop but with a lot of finagling I got it going(power cord - in out). Somehow, luckily , I got something on my monitor and the power button went from yellow+steady, to white. Using Macrium I recovered an image. I then ran SFC, Dell diagnostics + all fine now ).
Question, I have a rescue flash drive WinPE for Windows 10. Could I have booted from it to get to see something on the monitor even if I could not get in the BIOS or even get anything on the screen? Do you just hold the power button until the flash drive takes over? I do not know how to use a rescue media if I cannot start the PC and googling is not working. I have run MBAM with exploit and Defender. I also have SpywareBlaster and am behind a router.

Fresh installation of Windows 10.
When I right click an app in the Start Menu (All apps) and select Pin to Start, nothing happens. Nothing about the Start Menu changes. I have multiple Pins but I see no change in the Start Menu.
Note that Pin to Taskbar does work. What is supposed to happen?

The Get Windows 10 app started up while I was writing this post!
I have been preparing one of my office PCs for an upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10.
When KB3035583 and the rest of the preparatory updates came out last summer I hid them - on all PCs.
One every other PC I restored these updates on and installed, the Get Windows 10 app started right up.
But on this PC (the one in my System Specs) after restoring all the updates and installing them, the Get Windows 10 app does not start.
Using the MS fix to diagnose the app returns the error: "Unsupported Version" > Details: "Windows is not up to date". Checking Windows Update yields nothing new to install.
(Windows 7 Home was installed first on this PC from a 3-license retail disk, activated, and legitimate. It has never been reinstalled on this PC)
