I had problems launching windows 8, every time I start the PC, it hands in the start menu, and I can't do anything (Open desktop or any other application), so I booted in linux, and i cleared the windows 8 registry Rundirectory, and i cleared theC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu`, well it helped, and i can now open windows, but all the application and tiles in windows start menu, are disappeared, i can't even do a search in the start menu, and i couldn't do a restore cause i had no restore point :(.
any idea how to fix this?

Just put new shortcuts in that folder. I suggest using doing a Refresh since you didn't backup the shortcuts before you deleted them. – Ramhound – 2014-06-25T15:55:18.897
well i copied the files from
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\to the start menu folder, it recovered "SOME" of the apps, but other apps like the "Desktop" tile, didnt show up :( – Ouerghi Yassine – 2014-06-25T16:32:03.900Yes; Your solution is to Refresh your installation. You shouldn't have just blindly deleted files. Desktop tile isn't require
Win+Dgets you to the desktop – Ramhound – 2014-06-25T17:07:19.010Yes, that's what i've used, anyways, i fixed it using
sfc /scannow– Ouerghi Yassine – 2014-06-25T17:12:00.603sfc /scannowis't the Windows 8 only Refresh feature – Ramhound – 2014-06-25T17:41:26.473
