1) What do you mean the start menu isn't working?
2) Define "reset". EXACTLY what did you do?

Hi Allen, When I push the windows start button then there are no apps and what I really did is a fresh windos install with the hold of my personal data.

A reset does not save apps. You have to reinstall them.

I think what you’ve done is an in-place upgrade. There’s a tutorial here that explains how to do that correctly.
Where did you get the ISO you used?

Sorry, just to clarify... When you click on the start button does the Start Menu pop up empty, or does it not pop up at all?

Hi Wisewiz, I really don't know what is happening here, I have done die repair install with an in place upgrade and when that is finished and the laptop restarts then I have a start menu but as soon as uninstall norton because I will not use that then my laptop restarts and then the startmenu is not reacting, so I don't know what to do.

If a repair upgrade does not sort it, only option is a clean install.

If the suggestions in the thread I posted don't help, and if the taskbar is not hidden, then I agree with cerberus - especially since this was brought on by a beta update. Also, you might want to consider leaving the beta channel.
