The start menu opens and works normally when i open games and stuff but when i look for specifics like system restore, device manager and control panel i it won't open.

any idea on how to fix this?

right click start button and see all the choices you were after... this doesn't fix it but its a faster way into the device manager & control panel... system restore is buried.

does settings menu open from action centre?

Running cmd as admin:
From C:\
cd Windows
rename ImmersiveControlPanel ImmersiveControlPanel.old
SFC /scannow

SFC will rebuild ImmersiveControlPanel.

Settings was working immediately after.

I found answer in ten forums...from another user....much more simple that in all of the Microsoft fixes. Restart your computer in safe mode (hold shift and hit restart), then shut down and restart normally, all of settings come back up. It has worked for me and several others...Good Luck
