Anyone else end up with a messed up Start Menu.
I had to do a full shut down and then start up to get any visible tiles, and....
Now they all look a bit like they were create for a very old video game circa pre-PacMan.
 

Solution
OH, it looks alright.
Some of the stuff that seemed to not work before seems to work fine now (the People app comes to mind).
But you can't maximize the start menu on the fly any more. You can still resize it vertically and you can choose to have it "Full Size" from the personalization / start, settings (while in desktop, which I suppose is a nod to mobile devices and two in ones) and may make some people who were missing the old Windows 8 Start Screen.
My main and actually only gripe (on the clean install), is the way that the shortcuts from my applications (like word, excel, outlook, etc.,) that I choose to "pin to start" do not seem to render there, in the same quality that the native tiles seem to.
I tried deleting iconcache.db and...
"Unfortunately, it's taking longer than usual"

This update went on from 8.00 pm into the night - did not stay up. Next morning, after a reboot, during the install, this English message in my Dutch version, popped up. An untranslated and new message?

Has MS changed / speeded up the install procedure?

But for now build 10122 is up and running looking good....

Added:
- Cortana on taskbar is dead,
- Virtual Desktops are dead
- Can't add new items to startmenu
- Translations are not finished (or braindead:: 'Feedback app' translated in 'Misbruik-app', that means abuse app or misuse app LOL)

This build is fun!

A number of problems disappeared, Cortana, Virual Desktop, Start menu, all over now. It seems that right after the installation, when you login for the first time, Windows still has a number things to do, in other words, the first time you are faced with an incomplete installation.

But I still think that the installation procedure has been review. The time needed after the last reboot till you are invited to login has been shortened.

I found a new 3D building app, w'ill see...
