Win 10 Update Issue

I hate the MSFT policy, that I MUST accept all of their updates!!
Today, I had a ~1/2 hour update. Upon rebooting, I have a new issue.

When I left click my Win 10 start (that may be wrong term, I mean the
lower laft icon with 4 slanted boxes) I no longer get my prior menu -
ala installed programs etc.

How can I restore that "start" icon?

Had the same problem only a little worse when 10586 installed. All the
windows icons on the bottom toolbar stopped working both directly and on
right click. Everything else worked OK. My only way to shutdown was to
ctl-alt-del and select shutdown from there.

My solution was to use my win 10 install disk and regress to 10240. Then
everything worked OK again.

Laptop, Desktop, Tablet ?
Touch capable device ?

When you click on the Start Button(yes, the 4 squares-box icon) does
anything display.
- if so look for an icon with horizontal bars(aka a hamburger icon) and
click on it

Check your Win10 Settings
Look for
- Settings/Personalization/Start/use Start Full Screen
Full Screen enabled or disabled?

Why not stop the WindowsUpdate service permamenetly so that you don't
get any Microsoft updates. You can then check for updates "Manually"
onece a month round about 28th or 29th of the month when you would have
read everything about updates for the month and what impact they have on
the system. Personally, I prefer to check for updates once every 3
months on the usual quarter days because Updates are not relevant for
me. My next update is on 25th December but I shall postpone it until
2nd Janaury 2016 as I will be going away on Christmas holidays to
Scotland which I do every year.

What do you get? What type device are you using? 'Which update?' could be
helpful information. If it was performing before the update, it could be a
3rd-party software conflict of some sort. Perhaps you truncated the update
somehow? Use the Notifications icon to access "Settings" then "Update &
Security" then "Windows Updates" then "Advanced Options" then "View your
update history"...

Could be your PC is booting into a wrong user account [ C:\Users ]...

Use the Notifications icon to access "Settings" then "Accounts"...

If all that seems copesetic, have a peruse at these possibles :

Worst case scenario, you might force a reinstall of the update by direct
downloading it; or, uninstall the offending update, reboot, check it out...
then reinstall it - via the "Settings" then "Windows Updates" interface.

What do you get when you left-click the Start button? Right-click? Do all
the items open when you right-click the Start button? What type device are
you using? 'Which update?' could be helpful information. If it was
performing before the update, it could be a 3rd-party software conflict of
some sort. Perhaps you truncated the update somehow? Use the

I have a desktop, that was updated to WIN 10 a few months ago. I do
not know how to check what MSFT updates were most recently installed.
The at issue update was installed 3 days ago; as it took over 10
minutes to complete the install phase, it may have been for "several
different updates"?

I don't if the same applies to joe, but my update history was empty
after I completed the November update.

Mine got reset too.

I suspect that is how it's supposed to work,
as Windows moves to Windows.old and it is
considered "a new OS" from the perspective
of Windows Updates.
