This one has been bugging me for a couple of weeks and I just managed to find a fix. Right-clicking on the start button and pressing Windows+X failed to do anything.
The fix?
1) Open up command prompt and run:
xcopy %SystemDrive%UsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsWinX %userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsWinX /e /y
2) Log out and log in again. Everything should work as expected.

I’m curious, do you have any suspicions as to what caused it to stop working in the first place? I was just thinking if this happened to may what sort of search terms I’d use to find a fix. Probably “Windows+X” and “broken” or “won’t open” I guess.
Thanks for posting the fix! I hope I never have to use it 😛
No idea.
You are the MAN!!!
