The September 2020 patch affected my start menu.
Two additional systems have been updated and are functioning properly. It seems the issues were probably just coincidence or an unusual circumstance that affected my gaming setup this time. I only realized it after the previous updates; once the start menu was restored, the items I had saved were gone, so I had to re-add some manually. Focus on the ones I rely on most, as I often overlook them.
I lost focus and didn’t stop the update from setting up again, but it finished successfully this time. It seems either Microsoft made a change after the initial patch, or there’s some unexpected Windows or third-party interference. I’m relieved the system is still running smoothly for now.
