Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926
1. Enable the local (hidden) administrator's account
2. Password or leave blank, doesn't seem to make a difference.
3. Log Off
4. Log On as Administrator (hidden account)
5. Tell me if your start menu works as expected?
Thanks
Randy

Thanks Sonny for taking the time.
Same here.
No such problem with my MS account or a new local user account I created for experimentation.
Just the hidden admin account.
I can right click and choose "Search" and type
Settings
And get to the settings and stuff like that, but cannot launch any modern app from the hidden admin account, like "Photos" "Weather", "Music", etc.,. Maybe the whole start menu is considered a "Modern App".

Could also be the issue that vmware player guy is having? Well it is a beta test after all.

Never tried in hyper-v. Just tried it after getting the upgrade in my windows update. Outside of that not working. I am really liking Windows 10. Everything I had in win 8 works in build 9926.
