I didn't have an issue with the 10-day rollback after that period. My Win 10 install was working fine for 6 months, until the Start button disappeared. No problem: I found lots of solutions online. Problem: none worked, and the ultimate suggestion was to refresh or reset. Refresh didn't work, so I had to reset losing all of my installed apps and settings. When given the choice, I just went back to Win 8.1. I am astounded that a 'version 10' of any software would have such a keystone issue, at least losing the ability to navigate my GUI without crazy right clicks and searches. I run Mac and Linux too, so I am not a fanboy of any one particular OS. I call problems out on all of them equally. I just want them not to bother me while I am working ;) Or waste a day reinstalling apps and re-registering them, and setting them. In 38 years of owning and running computers, two systems stand out as particularly robust - my 1978 Commodore PET with built-in cassette tape drive storage, and a FreeBSD box I was running for a long time until the hard drive failed due to operator error!

Sounds like my experience with USB keyboard and mouse not working after a restart. They work in the BIOS, but as soon as the Windows loading screen appears, they stop working. I restored my PC to a restore point, they worked again. After another restart, they stopped working. I reset my PC, losing apps and settings. They worked again until another restart. I had set up remote access, so I was able to use my trusty MacBook to remote in and remove every "USB Root Hub" in Device Manager, then let Windows self-heal. That caused my mouse and keyboard to work again. So basically I have to keep a secondary PC around in case my Windows 10 PC ever reboots, so I can have a mouse and keyboard. I saw lots of posts online about keyboard and mouse not working on boot in Windows 10, but unplugging/replugging seemed to work for those people. It did nothing for me. I saw advice to disable fast boot, but even after doing that, on restart they stopped working. It also seems pretty suspect that the keyboard and mouse work fine in my BIOS and only stop responding after the Windows 10 spinner appears.

I've encountered the start menu issue a few times and also found the various magic incantations on google didn't work. The final solution in each case was to create a new user account.
