Start Menu Not Opening - Windows 11 Dev

My start menu isn't working. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting windows explorer and checking my disk for errors but nothing seems to work.    When hover over it, a tooltip pops up that...

I didn't have an issue with the start menu, but my issue was with the quick access menu never opening neither with a click nor with the keyboard shortcut.  This issue has happened to me twice now, and this method solved my problem both times.  The fix was permanent the first time until I updated to 22463.1000.  

1) Press "win" and type "connect to a wireless display"

2) Select the option from "system settings"

3) Now in the display settings, click "Connect" next to "Connect to a wireless display"

4) This should open a menu on the bottom right where the quick access menu should be opening. 

5) Click the back arrow next to "win+k"

6) This should open the quick access menu and make it accessible forever

 

(You may be able to do this just by pressing "win+k" and then the back arrow, but I didn't try this myself and therefore cannot speak to its efficacy)

Once again. No. This was a bad install from the internet. The .iso I downloaded manually worked perfect, thus fixing the problem which I havnt had again.
