Many readers who have upgraded to Windows 10 version 2004 have reported that the Start menu no longer works in the new Windows 10 feature update. When they open the Start menu, nothing works. They will not be able to launch requests, programs, or attachments. In fact, they cannot access the power and user account options.
After some troubleshooting, it was discovered that everything in the Start menu was overwritten by the search box results window.
So what is the cause of this problem? In fact, it applied a registry adjustment (shared at the following link) to enable a secret, hidden immersive user interface for the search box in Windows 10 that was no longer working in the 2004 version of Windows 10 and caused the Start menu to malfunction.

Use the Registry Editor
Thus, if you also encounter a problem with breaking the start menu in the last version of Windows 10 2004 and the user interface of the search box covers the start menu area, just delete ImmersiveSearch DWORD from the following key in the registry editor :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
Removing DWORD from the registry editor fixes the Start menu problem.
