Post the upgrade to the latest technical preview of Windows 10, i started seeing issues related to start menu:
- Empty Application List.
- Start Menu Page doesn't show pinned items.
- Cortana doesn't show application searched.
It was frightening as well as disappointing to see your easy to reach out START MENU missing. So, what to do next, huh?

Few things i tried before i panic and refresh my system.
- Rebooted the system ; it did not help at all but worth a try.
- Logged out and logged in with a different user ; Aha, start menu was back, so its more related to my profile.
Before, i go for a new user profile on my system, i decided to re-register the Start Menu component and here's the little PowerShell trick you can use.
Open PowerShell with Run-as-Admin and run the following code
Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
Last thing, REBOOT ;-)
WOW, my start menu is back but just in case you still can't see it, please go ahead and create a new profile for your account.
