Good day. I have searched the FAQ and forum discussions, but have not found this issue here. I am having an issue where the Start Menu is no longer coming up and none of the Windows Apps will run to include Edge. I did a great amount of research and tried many suggested fixes. None worked.

I finally did a reset on Windows 10. My Start Menu and Windows Apps worked again just fine. Windows 10 did not detect to of the four monitors I am running, so I reinstalled the GR Displayfusion and the monitors were then all detected, but the Windows Apps stopped running immediately. The Start Menu still came up, so I moved forward with reinstalling Office 365 and Chrome yesterday. I came in this morning and am back to the Start Menu not working.

I uninstalled DF again and rebooted, still not working.

I installed the latest Beta and rebooted, still not working.

I really need to get this working ASAP. I'm open for suggestions please. I can right click the Start Button and get the Windows-X menu, but that is it. I can't get to my programs menu at all now or launch my Windows Apps.

Thanks,

Jim

Keith,

Thank you for the reply. I thought this very strange as well. I had the reset Windows 10 as mentioned previously. When I did, Windows only detected the laptop and one other monitor. Everything was working then. I installed the latest DP Beta and instantly Windows Edge stopped working, but that was all. All other apps loaded fine to include the start menu.

I enabled the other two monitors and began to set everything up. The next morning I came in and the start menu and apps would no longer work. I have uninstalled DP, but still have the same issue, so I'm not sure what is going on, but it didn't start until I installed DP again after the rest of Windows 10.

I don't think reinstalling and disabling any of the monitors will work, but I will try it now.

I'll be back.

Well, it appears I was wrong. I reinstalled Beta 2 and disabled all external monitors and everything works again.

So any suggestions? I really need my other three monitors.

Update: I re-enabled monitor #2 and all was good. Apps and start menu still work. I then made monitor #2 primary and the apps stopped working. I witched primary back to the laptop and all started to work again. I'm going to test by enabling the other monitors one at a time and see how it goes leaving the primary as the laptop.

Update 2: I have been able to enable all monitors and desktop wallpaper with everything working by leaving my laptop as the primary monitor. Not ideal, but at least I'm up and running. I am also experience many of the same issues I see others experiencing such as the start menu opening on the primary and then popping over to the screen I am actually on. Since I just got it working again, with limitations, I am going to move forward checking on some of the other features I use such as application location and others.
