Admin account. Some Start-RT Click apps do nothing at all. Some Start run commands do nothing at all
Windows 11 24H2. I am on an ADMIN account.
* Right click on the start button and choose, for this example let's use Device Manager, and absolutely nothing happens. I use Sysinternals Process Explorer and verify no MMC is running. I left click on the start button and run Device Manager and it's starts up normal.
* Left click on the start button and type in CMD, click on Run as Admin - nothing happens. I've gone to the command.exe and made it's properties run as admin. Now go back to Run->CMD-Open and cmd starts up in Admin mode.
I've done quite a bit of research on this and it seems there are hundreds of similar issues. I've tried many things to fix this not limited to the ubiquitous DISM, SFC, etc... sorry I haven't logged all the things I've tried over the past few months since this started.
Any polite concise suggestions appreciated. Also sorry i dont know why this is forcing me to do a poll.

It sounds like you're experiencing a broader issue with context menu and Start menu command execution failures on Windows 11 24H2, despite being on an admin account and having attempted standard troubleshooting steps. This kind of problem can stem from various underlying causes, including system file corruption, registry issues, corrupted user profile, or problematic shell extensions.
