Windows 10 Bug: Unusable Start Menu

It seems that the Windows shell team is a little out of practice when it comes to making Start menus.

On the latest build of Windows 10, there's a chance for any given installation that the Start menu will just not work at all. That is, pressing it does nothing; you can't get the list of apps. The Search box works fine, and it seems that if the Start button bug is happening then the Search box will refuse to go away, even if you set its mode to Disabled.

On a previous build, the Start menu would sometimes be two lines tall, which made it very difficult to see your apps.

I have one Win10 computer that's fine, and one that won't produce a working Start menu no matter what I do. (Perhaps a reinstall is necessary?)
