Tiles Broken after Creator Update

Method 1: Run the Start menu troubleshooter.

The Start menu troubleshooter automatically detects and resolves problem with your Start menu.

1. Open Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type this Net user New /add , and hit Enter.
3. Type this Net localgroup administrators New /add, and hit Enter.

Note: If the new user account is already created, check if issue will still persist.

Update us on the outcome.

Thank you Antoneth.

I ran the troubleshooter which didn't find anything wrong.

I've also deleted my Tile database, but this has not reset the start menu. Looks like I will have to recreate my user profile; I was hoping not to have to do this, but it seems I have no choice. I'm curious as to where the Tile database sits if removing it from C:\Users\[myname]\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer does not cause a reset; as you can see, all it did was remove a couple more and rejumble them again. :/

I'll redo my profile and hopefully that will work.

Hi,

You may not redo your profile yet. Create a test user account and check if the issue replicates. With regard to some system file corruption that the troubleshooter was able to detect, let's see if running these commands will do the trick:

1. Press Windows key + S and type Command Prompt (Admin).  

2. Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press Enter.  

3. Once it's done, type sfc /scannow and press Enter.  

4. Restart your computer.

Please advise as necessary.
