Start Menu Not Opening - Windows 11 Dev
After trying more than 20 methods to fix the start Menu, i finally uninstalled my Graphics Card in Device Manager (have Intel Iris Xe) then scanned for hardware changes.
At first attempt nothing happened and START Button didn't respond *SEE ATTACHED SCREEN SHOT*.
second try: after Uninstalling the resolution dropped and icons became barely visible // now START button worked and i could explore the start menu ( it looked bigger than the Search Bar), then i hit SEARCH FOR HARDWARE CHANGES in DM, Graphic card installed again and the Start Menu works just fine.
P.S. : i already added a Registry called : EnableXamlStartMenu and set it to value (0) in here : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
then did a restart before working on the Graphics Driver. ( Check Method #11 in this link :
https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-fix-windows-11-start-menu-not-working-issue-17-ways/
P.S. : i have -Windows 11 Beta channel, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.194.0 (10.10.2021)
- Power shell 7.1.4 ( from Microsoft store)
- Power shell review 7.2 ( from github : https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/tag/v7.2.0-preview.10 )
hope these tricks might help you too if not just pin your apps to task bar and use search to access others 
Cheers
