I've tried everything listed here and no dice. This has been happening for some time now, usually a restart will fix it but it's been three days and I've had enough. If I create a new profile the start menu works fine, but when I log back into admin I still have problems.

Hi and Welcome to TSF!

This is most likely a bad user profile. I recommend making a new Administrator account and transferring your data to that account.

Yes, your user profile has become corrupted. Fix a corrupted user profile - Windows Help

Thank you both. Shame there's no way to actually solve the problem, but creating a new profile worked just fine for all intents and purposes.

Two months and my new profile is corrupt again. Is there any way to identify what's causing this or am I going to have to make a new profile every two months?

i have seen this a few times now - also on Macs running parrallels with windows
the profile becomes corrupt and has to be reset every few days
not yet found a solution !!!!! myself
