I'm sorry you experienced a problem when you ran Transwiz. However, it is completely untrue to say there is still a Start Menu issue: there aboslutely is not. You cannot assume, just because you have a problem reported on a six year old thread that therefore there is some general issue with the software.

As of 11/2021, I can confirm that this start menu issue is still present on Windows 10 profiles migrated from and up-to-date machine.
The exact issue is that apps downloaded from the MS store are not removed from the start menu, even when they are uninstalled.  Resetting windows ("keep my files") fixes this but also eliminates a lot of the advantage of using TransWiz in the first place.

Any hope for a fix for this issue?

Well, I have problems with the Windows 10 start menu with the latest Version 2004, which have recently been released.

It turns out that the menu looks good, but it does not reflect any changes from what I do, if I delete something from the store that was already installed or any program that its shortcut appears there, in the menu it continues to appear, it is not removed. It is as if frozen.
Only what is anchored works fine to the start menu.

I know that the thread is 5 years old, but it is not closed either and right now I see this problem. When moving the profile, everything is transferred well, except for the start menu that is frozen as everything that has been transferred in it. Except what is anchored that works well.

I hope I have explained myself.

This thread dates from five years ago. Transwiz has been updated multiple times since then. If you are using the latest version of Transwiz and an up to date build of Windows 10, we are not aware of any Start menu issues whatsoever.

In the real world there will always be issues with individual migrations. However, we are confident that in general there are no problems with the Start Menu after transferring a profile to Windows 10 with Transwiz.

Some way there has to be so that it doesn't break the start menu without having to use any additional programs or having to reinstall Windows.

Let them look at it if they find a solution and update the program without this failure, since it is annoying. Because I could not get it to work with the program you say "'Tweaking.com - Windows Repair Free".

I haven't used TransWiz for some time but I have had the Windows 10 Start menu freeze (fail to open at all) for other, unknown reasons. The only thing that seems to fix it reliably is to do an in-place Windows 10 upgrade, that is, download the Windows 10 ISO for your current version of Windows, run setup, choose to keep personal files:

I would like to know if there is any solution for this, since I manage to transfer the profile to another computer correctly, but the Windows 10 start menu, version 2004, does not work, it is as if it was blocked, it does not matter if I remove an application from the store or install it, this menu is not modified, except for what it has recently added. The truth that everything that is anchored to the start menu, looks good and that can be touched, it is not blocked. The rest of the menu yes.
For everything else in the profile no problem.

I tried the program they mentioned, but without results.

Unfortunately I do not know exactly which options were responsible for actually solving the problem - I simply left all the default repair options selected. My guess is that it was '01 - Reset Registry Permissions', '02 - Reset File Permissions' and '28.01 - Repair Windows 8 / 10 App Store' that fixed it.


I tried this tool and it wouldn't run from within the broken profile, even with admin rights.

Does this method work from the local/domain admin account itself?

I use this when going from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
A while back, an older version of transwiz would break the start menu.

Once an update was released, it started working just fine after restoring user data,
However, it appears to be back on newer building of Windows 10 (still going from 7 to 10).

Now I have checked, and I'm using the now current version, and it also breaks the start menu with Windows 10 v1809.

If I transfer FROM windows 10 to windows 10 it breaks the start menu completely. It can't be opened by clicking on it or pressing the windows key. …


I have those symptoms for a profile that was migrated:
  • from Windows 7
  • to build 1803 of Windows 10.
It seemed that the task bar was generally non-functional. I might not have tried everything across the bar, left to right, but nothing that I clicked was responsive; and the Windows key had no effect.

Two errors in the ForensiT AppX Management Service log, might either of these be a direct or indirect cause of the breakage?

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\nsp13\Appdata\Local\TileDataLayer\Database\vedatamodel.edb'.

Tile backup failed for C:\Users\nsp13
