Anyone got a solution to the start button right context menu not working (Windows 10 build 1903) Microsoft no help!!

Tried the following and nothing has resolved it

SFC Scannow
Dism restorehealth
Powershell script:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Adding Dword to registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ ImmersiveShell\Launcher
Right click on Launcher -> New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it UseExperience.
Registry Tweak to Fix Start menu
Double-click the newly created DWORD and set the value to 0.

Reinstall, keeping personal files

Thanks for the advice on here although none of them resolved the issue I found the solution.

The answer is to copy the 3 Group folders in WinX from a computer that has a working start context menu and use these to replace the same folders on the computer that isn't working. The 3 folders (Group1, Group2 & Group3) can be found in C:\Users\Adminstrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

Administrator is your user name i.e Peter.

Cant believe the 3 Microsoft alleged technicians I spoke to didn't know the answer, especially as the error first occurred back in 2016!
What about this possible solution? Have you tried it (second answer which got only 7 points)?
Windows 10 Start Right-Click Context Menu Items Don't Open

Tried the Ccleaner and copying the WinX folder, neither of these worked either, the most frustrating thing is this is an error that appeared in 2016 and now its back in the latest build update....Great Progress, guess I'm going to have to live with it until they fix it in an update!!!
 


You can try it again. Explorer needs to be fully stopped before you can rename it.

I would also look in the event viewer and see if you get any immersive shell related errors.
