I have a dell latitude e6530 laptop with a 3rd gen i5 running at 2.9ghz and the nvidia gpu. I updated to windows 10 from 7 and my start menu stoped working. I have tryed restarting the explorer.exe file in task manager. But no such luck. Dose any one have any thing else i could try.

restart the computer might work. I have heard of this happening before.

if you only did the upgrade

you should now do a clean install

that will fix 99.9% of problems people have with the upgrade

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile

Have you restarted the computer?

 

What do you mean by "not working"?

1) did you try turning it off and on again?

 

2) is that did not work, do a proper clean install of windows 10
