Problem with the start menu of windows 8.

So my type of computer is Windows PC. My windows 8 Start menu automatically brings me too my "Apps". Then I have to click an arrow button and it brings me to 'start '. I can't find a way to 'lock or PIN' from the menu 'Start '. So, whenever I push the menu button start it brings back me to the "Apps". Is there a way to solve this problem, so that the start menu button will lead me to 'start '?

Hi Sarah,.

Please contact Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience that this may cause. I'll be happy to help you with that.

I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

Refer to this article how to perform a clean boot in Windows.

  • After the awakening of the mode standby, Thunderbird crashes if the start menu of windows 10 is open RESOLVED in version 38.3.0

    If I have Thunderbird up and then I put windows in sleep mode, when I come back once again, the start menu in Windows 10 appears automatically (can someone tell me how to stop this?). If I click anywhere on the screen menu start disappears and everything works fine, but if I forget to do it and for example, double-click on an email to open it, Thunderbird and then freezes. If I close Thunderbird and re-open he, she, then it brings up the email that I had clicked on, so he must have tried to open it while it was frozen.
    This isn't a big problem, just annoying bloom. Don't know if it's a problem of Windows 10 or Thunderbird. If someone can tell me how to stop start menu from popping up automatically, it wouldn't solve the problem, but it would be at least!

    Version 38.3.0 is now available. Resolve the problem?

  • Change the start menu of windows 7 to look like XP

    Hey there, can someone tell me how to make the start menu in windows 7 look and works as the XP menu start. He drives me crazy I'm not I could do it in Vista, but not 7

    Hi Boopgirl,

    If you are referring to the menu classic start, so here's an alternative of third parties who use a lot of people.

    Official site of CSMenu:
    http://www.csmenu.com/

    CSMenu is a small application that works like the classic Start menu. It is designed for Windows 7, which does not have a start menu classic. Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Desktop Experience]

    I just follow this suggestion qnd it is ACE, thank you very much. I really don't like restrictions on the Organization and navigation of the new start menu and it's true that I was disappointed 7 did not have the ability to switch to the classic, as they did with Vista.
    But this little app is great and it looks even better than the original with its background of transparency.

  • How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?

    I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows.  It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu.  I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.

    If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.

    If I right click on the link, I get options:
    Play
    Run as administrator
    More games from Microsoft
    Support
    PIN to the taskbar
    PIN to Start Menu
    Sort by name

    I miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!

    I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there.  I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).

    I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.

    I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings".  I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.

    So far, it seems to have solved the problem...

    (I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)

    Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!

  • Missing programs in all programs on the start menu in Windows 7

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 installed on my laptop. In recent weeks, I noticed that a lot of programs have disappeared from all programs in the start menu. If I dig up the program on my HARD drive so I'm able to find but it causes a lot of problems that the programs are not visible in all programs. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!

    Yes, I had most of the programs listed in there, but some programs were missing...
    Such as PowerPoint and Word, etc were missing from the list of all programs...
    So what I did that I dragged the original MS Office program into the specified folder...
    I guess that is not automatic!
  • What happened to the shortcut on the start menu in Windows?

    After the Muse on Windows 10 2015.2, I can no longer pin the program in my Start menu, which is the case until now, I always recorded. I can not even find the program by searching for, and it is not in the folder program files. To open the program, I had to do it directly from the Adobe cloud program, and I later opened by double just by clicking on one of the Muse files I was working with. I can still pin Muse to the taskbar, but I'd really rather in the start menu, I have try to keep the taskbar pretty clean and do not use Muse too often that the other programs that I keep there.

    In any case, this change in the installation by design is? Seems very counterintuitive not to be able to access it from the same location as other programs Adobe. I really have no idea where the executable file is still at the present time.

    Hi Brett,

    Thank you for pointing out this bug! The shortcut on the start menu should be back in our latest version of Muse, version 2015.2.1.21.

    Thank you
