I've noticed every time I transwiz to Windows 10, it breaks the start menu.

If I transfer from windows xp/7/8 to windows 10 it breaks the search function. Cortana will not work and when you open the start menu you can't type anything to search your programs.

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've tried all the fixes online for fixing the start menu/search function but none of them work outside of creating a new user account.

Is this a known issue? I've had this occur at multiple client sites, all using different systems/programs. I even tried just transferring a fresh installed computer with no software and the issues were replicated. I love this program as it's made my life a million times easier when doing replacements so hopefully this can get fixed!

Transwiz does not yet support Windows 10. An updated version of Transwiz will be released later this year.

I also used this on a Win10 Pro machine. I knew it wasn't supported but got into a rhythm migrating several Win7 Pro machines at this location and forgot when i got to the Win10 machine. I also had the issue with the start screen, but was able to fix by downloading classic start shell. The other issue i am having is that after the migration the workstation is extremely slow and frequently freezes. It takes 30-60 secs just to open a file or something like command prompt. I know the tool doesn't support 10 but is there anything i can do to troubleshoot the OS latency issues i am having? I would like to repair this workstation instead of rebuilding it if possible.

I'm also an enthusiastic user of this tool. It has saved my organization countless hours of painstaking work. I eagerly awaited the new version with support for Windows 10 since we're now deploying many Windows 10 Surface tablets. I just completed a profile transfer using the new release and unfortunately it still breaks the start menu in Windows 10. What a bummer. Archive created using the new release on Windows 7 Enterprise and restored using the new release on a Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB Microsoft tablet.

Has anyone else experienced this? I can't be the sole voice of non-conformity?

Hello

Transfer Wizard 1.10.1075 has same result. As Transfer Wizard doesn't reinstall Windows app's "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages" directory stays almost empty and reinstall must be done manually (user must be administrator) - run Powershell as administrator and execute command: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}.

Maybe ForensIt team can do something that it's included in their programs.

Hi Olari,

I am very sorry that you have had a problem. However, you cannot assume that just because you have had a problem everyone else does too. The thousands of people who use Transwiz successfully don’t post on this forum to say everything went fine! By its very nature, the only people you hear from on a support forum are people who need support.

The ”C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages” folder is populated when apps are registered for that individual user on that machine. Transwiz absolutely does (re)install apps for the user. (This is what you see when you sign-in for the first time and you see “Updating Store Apps 5 of 64”. etc.) If the apps are missing or do not work, then something went wrong: check to see if there is a C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\ForensiT\Migrate-AppxPackage.log file.

Sorry, I assumed that if here is a topic about that then I'm not the only one.

Log file has lots of failed entry's like "8.06.2016 10:58:00 Package registration fails: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.22929.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Appxmanifest.xml"

As this doesn't give any reason why registration fails I'd like to ask if you have any ideas why this is happening but with PowerShell command I can reinstall app's succesfully?

I know this is an old thread, but I've just run into this same problem.

I used Transwiz to migrate several user profiles across from an existing machine to a new fresh install. Both installs were on the Windows 10 Creator's Update.

After migration, the start menu / action centre / metro apps / File explorer were not working. Using procmon I could see many 'ACCESS DENIED' registry errors (possibly file errors too, sorry can't remember). I also had plenty of failures logged in Migrate-AppxPackage.log

From my past Windows 10 travels I had used 'Tweaking.com - Windows Repair Free'. I happily can report that the tool was able to fix the correct permissions so that the start menu, etc. all started working (almost immediately, no reboot needed).

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.

Thanks again for Transwiz, it has saved me lots of time.
