How to reset the Start menu layout on Windows 10

When the Start menu is not working correctly, you can use this guide to reset the layout and fix the problem.

On Windows 10, Microsoft introduced an updated version of the Start menu that combines the familiarity of the classic menu from Windows 7 with parts of the Start screen included with Windows 8.

In this new version, you get a left rail with buttons to access different settings and locations. Then there is your list of apps installed on your device, and on the right, you get your Live Tiles, which are always lighting up keeping you up to date without you even needing to open the app.

All the information about the Start menu layout is stored in a database inside the TileDataLayer folder. The only issue is that sometimes the database can get corrupted causing the menu not to work properly. Fortunately, there is a workaround you can use to reset the Start menu layout on your Windows 10 computer.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to reset the Start menu layout to its default settings if for any reason it's not displaying or working correctly.
