Ive always had issues with the start menu. Pin to start sometimes doesn't work. Now I cant move the icons. And the right click menu sticks. If I do manage to move one it disappears on to reappear later.
Love 10 other than that. Whats the deal? I would like to organize my icons. Ive tried tablet mode too

Another thing it does when I first restart its bright. Then if I try to move something it dims

yeah I've been less than happy with the start menu also.
for me I for me I get freezes in start menu, especialy returning from sleep...which reminds me sleep is such a pain in the butt since I switch to Windows 10. Either waking up on its own, or system freezes when recovering from sleep

Stardock was a nice switch from vanilla, but i wasnt gonna buy it and 30 days goes by quick.

Have you tried running this in an adminstrative command prompt: sfc /scannow

And, Tamas over at MS forums gave this one, that worked for some:
1. Open Regedit.exe (right click on start and Run).

2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > Explorer

3. Change "LockedStartLayout" from 1 to 0.

4. Restart your computer.

That path does not exist >Explorer

And sfc /scannow didn't fix it

OP try installing the latest NVidia drivers (375.63) as these are a fix for the problem.

The previous ones broke the start menu !!!!
