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 says 'start'. When I push the windows key on the keyboard, sometimes it will act like it is opening (I see a screen pop up that is the same color as my toolbar) but it immediately goes away and seems to crash windows explorer as my icons disappear for a minute or so.
It seems that everything else works so far, any idea what it could be or how to fix?
Specs below:
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Update 21H2
Installed on 7/1/2021
OS build 22000.65

After upgrading to win 11, i found, that start menu and some other popups (such as account management, sounds etc) don't work (no reaction on click, some reaction on right button). I rollback to win10, wait to the next version (132), install it and found the same problems.
In my case solution was:
1) Signing up with local account (in my case windows make local account)
2) Restart, login with local account (start menu still don't work), microsoft account not signed
3) Making new local account (Administrator)
4) Restart, login with new local account (start menu work, but desktop clear)
5) Restart, login with old account
6) Copy AppData, desktop, documents, etc from old local account to the new one. overwrite all
7) Restart, login with new local account. All works fine, all data and preferences transferred (except putty and winscp settings)
8) Sign up microsoft account, restart, login with microsoft account
9) Remove old local account

Ctrl shift esc to open task manager. Then file - run new task - control
Go into control panel and change the date to one day ahead can fixed the problem.
