# Troubleshoot Start Menu errors
# Troubleshoot Start menu errors
Start failures can be organized into these categories:
- **Deployment/Install issues** - Easiest to identify but difficult to recover. This failure is consistent and usually permanent. Reset, restore from backup, or rollback to recover.
- **Performance issues** - More common with older hardware, low-powered machines. Symptoms include: High CPU utilization, disk contention, memory resources. This makes Start very slow to respond. Behavior is intermittent depending on available resources.
- **Crashes** - Also easy to identify. Crashes in Shell Experience Host or related can be found in System or Application event logs. This can be a code defect or related to missing or altered permissions to files or registry keys by a program or incorrect security tightening configurations. Determining permissions issues can be time consuming but a [SysInternals tool called Procmon](https://docs.microsoft.com/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) will show **Access Denied**. The other option is to get a dump of the process when it crashes and depending on comfort level, review the dump in the debugger, or have support review the data.
- **Hangs** in Shell Experience host or related. These are the hardest issues to identify as there are few events logged, but behavior is typically intermittent or recovers with a reboot. If a background application or service hangs, Start will not have resources to respond in time. Clean boot may help identify if the issue is related to additional software. Procmon is also useful in this scenario.

## Basic troubleshooting
When troubleshooting basic Start issues (and for the most part, all other Windows apps), there are a few things to check if they are not working as expected. When experiencing issues where the Start Menu or sub-component are not working, there are some quick tests to narrow down where the issue may reside.
When troubleshooting basic Start issues (and for the most part, all other Windows apps), there are a few things to check if they are not working as expected. For issues where the Start menu or subcomponent isn't working, you can do some quick tests to narrow down where the issue may reside.
### Check the OS and update version
- Is the system running the latest Feature and Cumulative Monthly update?
- Did the issue start immediately after an update? Ways to check:
- Powershell:[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
- PowerShell:[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
- WinVer from CMD.exe
### Check if Start is installed
- If Start fails immediately after a feature update, on thing to check is if the App package failed to install successfully.
- If Start was working and just fails intermittently, it's likely that Start is installed correctly, but the issue occurs downstream. The way to check for this is to look for output from these two PS commands:

There is no supported method to install Start Appx files. The results are often problematic and unreliable.

While using UE-V settings synchronization for a Windows 8 application, if the user uninstalls the application and then reinstalls the application, the application’s settings revert to their default values. This happens because the uninstall removes the local (cached) copy of the application’s settings but does not remove the local UE-V settings package. When the application is reinstalled and launched, UE-V gather the application settings that were reset to the application defaults and then uploads the default settings to the central storage location.

Map data is used by the Maps application and the map control for third-party applications.

Microsoft uses Windows diagnostic data to keep Windows secure and up-to-date, troubleshoot problems, and make product improvements. For users who have turned on "Tailored experiences", it can also be used to offer you personalized tips, ads, and recommendations to enhance Microsoft products and services for your needs. This article describes all types of diagnostic data collected by Windows at the Full level (inclusive of data collected at Basic), with comprehensive examples of data we collect per each type. For additional, detailed technical descriptions of Basic data items, see [Windows 10, version 20H2 required diagnostic events and fields](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/basic-level-windows-diagnostic-events-and-fields).
In addition, this article provides references to equivalent definitions for the data types and examples from [ISO/IEC 19944:2017 Information technology -- Cloud computing -- Cloud services and devices: Data flow, data categories and data use](https://www.iso.org/standard/66674.html). Each data type also has a Data Use statement, for diagnostics and for Tailored experiences on the device, using the terms as defined by the standard. These Data Use statements define the purposes for which Microsoft processes each type of Windows diagnostic data, using a uniform set of definitions referenced at the end of this document and based on the ISO standard. Reference to the ISO standard provides additional clarity about the information collected, and allows easy comparison with other services or guidance that also references the standard.
