Hello, I just reinstalled my PC a few days ago and now I’m facing an issue with the start key. I can’t open it, but I can right-click on it. I’ve tried restarting the PC, rebooting the explorer service, and using DISM and SFC commands. I’m really stuck. Could you help me? Thank you.

Check if the problem affects the whole machine or just your account. You can set up a second account on the device and log in there. When using Professional Edition or any other non-home version, use lusrmgr.msc to add a new user. If not, open an elevated command prompt as administrator and run: net user /add [*username] [password]. To make the new account an admin, execute: net localgroup administrators [username] /add

Yes, you're installing through a legitimate retail or OEM source, not an insider version.

I don’t see the Windows activation key in my user profile, so I’m pretty sure it’s there. Also, it didn’t allow me to use anything at first because it told me I needed to activate Windows, but then it let me proceed.

The problem continues for other users too; sfc and dism couldn't locate an issue. My advice is to restart your PC if that's the quickest fix.

Absolutely, that's the quickest choice. It's a shame I had to format it yesterday.
