Cortana can be a pretty useful addition to your computer, as she can greatly help you with daily reminders, provide you with the required information using voice commands, translate various texts, etc. And, while users can get by without the virtual assistant from Microsoft, the Start button not working might be a real problem, as operating the computer without it becomes quite difficult (especially if users are not familiar with keyboard commands).
Therefore, it is important to fix the Start Menu and Cortana is not working. For that, you will have to boot your PC in Safe mode and then launch Command Prompt (Admin) and PowerShell (Admin). You can find all the detailed instructions on how to do that here.
Additionally, users claimed that the root of the problem was anti-virus software or/and Dropbox. Try temporarily uninstalling these programs and see if that helps.
