If that doesn&rsquo;t work, try re-registering Windows apps via PowerShell with a specific command that reinstalls default app packages. It&rsquo;s also crucial to ensure your system is up to date. Head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and install any pending updates. Lastly, if the problem persists, consider creating a new user profile. Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users, add a new account, and log in to check if the Start button functions properly. By following these steps, you can effectively solve the issue of the Windows Start button not working and restore smooth operation to your device.[/size]
