windows 10 start menu prob

Ronald,
Thank you! I know a little bit of the command line but not enough to run the fixes. I think I will install Windows 10 this weekend.. already got a few reminders to upgrade :-( Fingers crossed that my Start menu db will stay 'clean' .

 

Sorry I was traveling the remainder of the week and did't have time to give this the proper attention it required.

1. Download the StartMenu.zip file and place it in the root of C:\.
2. Right-Click and select Extract All...
   It will create a folder for you C:\StartMenu\ containing two files:
   ClearTDL.cmd
   RepopulateTDL2.ps1
3. Open a Command Prompt - Elevated (Run As Administrator)
4. Change directory to C:\StartMenu\
5. Execute the ClearTDL.cmd. This will in turn call the PowerShell script RepopulateTDL2.ps1.

I'm sure you can understand that I can take no responsibility what-so-ever for the results. In my particular case after having no Start Menu and running this on two separate occasions - it has in fact fixed my issue. At least to the point where I can add my favorite tiles back and continue to work without having to create a whole new user profile.

 

No worries! Thank you for your reply!
I understand of course ;-) Everything is better and worth trying then every time creating a new user or new install.

 

Thanks.
you script is very cool and save my windows back!.
There is only way I tried and useful.

but the script may take some risk.
I suggest every one should make a snapshot before take the action.
