I don't know how it happened, but my Start button has turned to plain text instead of the Windows logo. I don't even know how to Google this problem:
Anyone know what could cause this and how I can get it to go away? I never thought I'd miss a Windows logo... but that's ugly.
Update: sfc /scannow comes back clean. Resetting to Start Menu defaults did nothing. Value of Shell
key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
is explorer.exe
. New user profile started up without this button, so it must be specific to my profile.
What is in
Shell
value of keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

May be explorer.exe is modified? try to 'Run as Administrator'
sfc.exe /scannow
