- Apps icons are not visible in the Windows Start Menu and the search bar is not able to search any apps. It only searches the Windows Settings.
- Windows Start Menu Icon and search bar is not responsive.
- "Critical error” popup after clicking on Start Menu, Error – “Your Start menu isn’t working. We’ll try to fix it next time you sign in.“ Clicking “Sign out now” and re-login, the issue persists.
Cause
NetBackup gets Access Denied errors for some of the critical files in these directories , which may be required for the functioning of the Start Menu and task bar search.
