If you have installed more than 512 programs on Windows 10, you may experience problems with the new start menu. If this number is exceeded, some programs are no longer displayed. In some cases, the start menu was completely empty.

• If this problem occurs, the tile area and the app list are also affected.
• As soon as this problem occurs, neither the search function nor the reinstallation of the programs will help.
• Instead, you have to go through Explorer to find and start the programs.
• Microsoft is said to be working on a Service Update 1 that will be distributed in August and may address this issue. Until then, you need to remedy the situation elsewhere.
