Windows Server 2012, upgraded from 4.0.6 to 4.2.6. After the installing 4.2.6 the entire start menu was missing! Restarted the machine and it was back. Surprised that a reboot was needed. |

The Start Menu is launched after the installation completes from C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe. If your Explorer.exe process was hung and the DLL cannot be injected into it, the Start Menu may not work. Simply restarting Explorer.exe should do the trick. |

It happened on two servers, and the explorer.exe process was not in a hung state. Maybe the installation should be restarting explorer.exe? |

The installation tries to restart explorer.exe using the Windows Restart Manager. However often times it fails for some reason. You can give it a hand by manually killing the Explorer processes from Task Manager. |
