I don't think it is related to AV software, as I said I did a clean install deleting everything and still have the same results.
Also you are wrong about Windows Update, it is alive and well. It is accessed by going to Settings\Update & Security. If having a tough time getting to Settings due to the Start Menu issue, try pressing Windows+I to access Settings.

I am having the same issue.
Nothing happens when I click on the start window. The only thing that is available for access is just the downloaded apps on my desktop.

I was on with Microsoft support this AM and they couldn't fix it i.e. no start, edge etc. So I tried deleting icloud and it works just fine now Maybe some conflict with OneDrive and icloud? Who knows?Yeah me too! I deleted iCloud and everything is just working fine now. What an annoying problem...

I had the same issue. I found a solution that worked for me. I hope it will work for you.
I found the solution when I noticed my calculator also did not work and the solution provided to fix that issue fixed my taskbar as well.
here is the link to the article I found that helped me
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29806.calculator-not-opening-in-windows-10-technical-preview-build-9926.aspx
I did have to remove the -AllUsers tag and I used a lowercase x as some suggested in order to get it to run
open powershell
right click on start
select run
type in powershell
hit enter
in the powershell window run the following command
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
It apparently disables development mode and registers everything which appears to have been the issue with my taskbar.
All I know is I ran this command and my taskbar, calculator, and so much more are finally working. I can even adjust my sound, and all those nice little things I always took for granted until I upgraded to windows 10....
All I can say is that this was not a good upgrade experience for me.
I wish everyone the best of luck with windows 10.
