This has worked for me a couple of times on PCs that lose all icons on the desktop (ie, blank screen desktop). Might be worth a try for non-responding buttons as well

Powershell

Right click on the Start Menu button and open Command Prompt (Admin)
Enter PowerShell in the command line
Paste the following line in the Administrator: PowerShell Window:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Wait for the PowerShell to execute the command (ignore a few red error codes)

Regedit

Go to Search, type regedit and open Registry Editor
Go to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ ImmersiveShell\Launcher

Click Edit, New, DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it UseExperience

Double-click the newly created item and set the value to 0

Click OK, close the Registry Editor and then restart your computer

thanks but no cigar - problem persists

bit of googling and it seems a few folk are having the same problems

solutions seem to be either a full reinstall or dump MS Edge and use Chrome

trying that now

up the creak and no paddle now

bugger won't boot - just says it can't read boot device, can't even get into safe mode

I was about to ask whether you'd checked the HD for failure, but looks like that point has passed

You might have to create a boot HD/USB stick and start up from that to see what you can recover - if you're lucky, you may be able to migrate apps/settings over.

Not going to help much. But I seriously hate windows 10. Only have Android devices at home.

Windows10 at work is the bane of my life at present. One patch after another, simply trying to get to where we where with windows 7.

I had the start button problem, tried every remedy suggested by Google and others with varying degrees of success but nothing permanent. Microsoft couldn’t fix it.

I finally somehow hit upon upgrading the Intel processor to the latest software release, that did the trick, been fine ever since.

I wonder why it showed up as a new post at the top of The Lounge then?
