My Windows 11 Start Button is no longer working.

I found a better way but can’t remember where I found the answer that being said search for windows 11 update in place. It requires you to download the .iso file double click it win 11 will automatically mount it. Click setup it resets windows 11 without losing any of your currently loaded apps. Be careful the one that worked said nothing about keep files if you get that option you got the wrong iso. The one I used simply rest installed windows without changing anything but windows. If I find the I found this video not sure if it’s the one I used so do this at your risk.

This way if it messes up you can just restore without the hassle good luck you can do this.

I haven't got a specific fix to the issue (working on fixing it myself) but you can open the settings by right clicking on the desktop and clicking on Display Settings or Personalization to bypass the lack of a start menu.

I had to eventually do a reset and everything is back. Unfortunately I have lost some software. Windows is more trouble than it is worth.

If the same problem occurs on other peoples computers, windows has an inbuilt glitch and they should be sorting it, rather than investing in upgrades that nobody hardly use.

Can you imagine if the thing that suddenly stopped working was keeping people alive, or helping to fly a plane.

Ultimately, I have reinstalled Windows 11 from Settings>System>Recovery>Reset this PC

After reset, it has deleted many applications and few remained intact and my files and folders were untouched. But after some days of starts and shutdowns it again behaves the same way. Click on start icon may or may not opens the menu and icons in start menu won't appear.

Since last windows update i had the same problem, start crashed suddenly (the result is that it suddenly disappear after click on start button) and also settings it's impossible to open, it crash like start.
I tried various things but the only one that solved this problem was to rollback the system to the last checkpoint (before the update), but today the system updated again and the problem it's back! I taught Microsoft suspended the bugged update and distributed only security fixes!
