I can't get start menu as it shows critical error that it isn't working

I log in and message says critical error start menu and cortina aren't working. We'll try to fix it next time you log in. Well I've tried logging in and restarting. Still can't get it to open

Hi,

This happened to me today also. It was very irritating as i was locked out of my computer... I searched for a solution online and to be honest there is none until Microsoft fixes it...

The issue is with logging in with your Microsoft account.
So if you do manage to login without the error showing for once just change your account to local one instead Microsoft one and just wait for them to fix the error. Worked for me :/

Microsoft really screw this one up!

Just re-install Windows 10 from ISO will fix the bug.

Won't reinstalling Windows from an ISO delete all my programs?
