I'm having an issue on a single RDS 2016 server at the moment where the start menu doesn't open.
I've gone though lots of steps including sfc /scannow (No errors) DISM with all the options (No Errors)
I've cleared the Registry in firewall policy\restricted services\configurable\system.
I believe the issue is that I don't have any applications registered in the get-appxpackage at all, it just comes back blanks where as on working machines I get a list of about 15.
I've tried to install the packages by hand using variations of
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml -Verbose
This returns the following;
Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered.
An internal error occurred with error 0x800705AA. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues.
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 5597e571-c93a-001c-e6eb-97553ac9d401 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID
5597e571-c93a-001c-e6eb-97553ac9d401

I can't seem to get the system to re-register those applications!
Open to any suggestions? (Please no, have you restarted the server!)
This happens on all users including local admin and new accounts. Happens in Safe and Clean Boot.
Thanks.
