Start menu is broken in latest Windows update

Microsoft’s latest cumulative update for Windows 10 is reportedly causing problems with the operating system’s Start Menu.

The KB4517389 patch was released on 8 October and was meant to fix bugs from a previous update, which resulted in issues with printing.

With all these bugs in Windows updates recently I'm surprised I haven't run into a single one myself. Guess I'm lucky or the bugs aren't as far reaching as the articles reporting them imply.

Same here. Been using the standard Windows 10 OS with all their updates. Never had an issue like the ones mentioned here.

I had a problem with edge chrome earlier where every clicked link would open a new window.

Me neither. All works perfectly as it should, incl latest update.

Can't understand how this happens, I have 5 Windows 10 devices and they all update with no issues. What are these people doing to the os?

I suspect many have become "experts" at using all sorts of crapware that "cleans" and "tweaks" the registry and "updates drivers". I don't let that stuff within 3.76 x 10^9 nanometers of my systems.

This has been explained before. People aren't doing anything they shouldn't or didn't do before. It's all MS focusing on standard PCs. So most people that just buy a PC off the shelf won't have problems as they work closely with hardware makers to ensure it works. Keep your customer base happy so they turn on those who have nonstandard configurations which really should just work if MS was following proper design. Seems to be working like a charm with everyone asking this question lately.

Nonsense. The people who experience issues with MIDI devices aren't doing that. The people who had their documents folder just wiped weren't doing that. For a lot of these "issues" the go-to solution from MS is actually a registry tweak.
 
Is it only I or am I always the lucky update receiver? I have only once had an update issue and was due to instability caused by a Realtek driver which was promptly addressed with an automatic driver update.

I know that AMD drivers may cause the start menu to break on installation, but a restart remedies the issue.

All my PCs, none which has the same hardware, are updated to date with no broken start menu.

Can't argue with omniscience. You just know they weren't doing that, eh.

What's even more peculiar is that you answer my obviously tentative supposition about some users with a ringing certainty about everyone.

Only a small fraction of MIDI users had issues. Why didn't the rest? Same for the missing/moved Docs folder - most had no issues at all.

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility and even probability that those who had issues were doing strange things to their configs.

Again nonsense. You are just looking to blame users like @Geoff.D when MS is to blame.

Somehow you think that YOU know the users who were having problems were doing these things.
 
My start menu broke on Tuesday while I was updating in the background. Also I've noticed on my AMD RX580 machine that if I don't regularly update Radeon drivers crash with a wattman error.
