I don't know what to say, now I'm the victim of this strange behaviour.

Today Wednesday, 13th Juli 2022 is the first day after the monthly Microsoft Patchday (2nd Tuesday of the month).
And now, my search bar and my Windows-Start-Menu-Button are not working, as a couple of times mentioned from posters before.

I have Kerio Outlook Connector 9.4.1P1, the update from the HTML-E-Mail debacle.

I've lost one small client, but will lose more if GFI continues with poor written software.

The Outlook search function doesn't work fast since years, OK... workaround is "Mailstore".
But when a simple Outlook plugin (KOC) corrupts fundamential functions of the underlying operating system, it is just a poorly written piece of software.

GFI cannot be reached via phone from Switzerland because the German Phone Number is toll free from Germany. The UK Number has a voice recognition system and accepts only existing cases and cannot connect to a human.

I complained this to my distributor, he confirmed the problem.

So, I'm waiting for a solution / resolution of this problem

just my 2 cents.

Update for my case (perhaps written somewhere else):

Open Registry, go go " Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" and check permissions for "User Shell Folders" if "ALLE ANWENDUNGSPAKETE" (German) / "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" (or so) has Full-Access and read, see screenshot.

After this, without a reobot my Start Menu worked again, and the search bar in Explorer too.

Just wow from the response.

I have been trying to figure out why for my customer this kept happening as its very random issue happening more with the new staff setups. When it happens it completely destroys the Microsoft account associated and unable to get this working.

Very interesting that it only happens with sites with Kerio installed on.

Will keep working on this and see if I can find a full fix for this.

...This issue must be related to Kerio Offline connector. We have some bigger customers, using exactly the same PCs, with exactly the same Software Set and initially provisioned from the same image. Only difference is that some are using Outlook with Kerio Connector and some others only the WebUI. And _only_ the Kerio-Connector PCs suffer from this problem.

Nice, I try it.

The problem doesn't belong to domain computer. It hit every computer even in workgroups. It only happen to fresh installations of the KOFF client, not if the automatic update force a client update.
Yesterday I have to remove the client on a computer who get a new Office 2021 in 64bit and the old Office was 32bit. In this case you have to deinstall KOFF too and reinstall it. After install the 64bit msi paket the problem comes up. The computer running Windows 10 latest patch an be in a workgroup with local profiles only.

Andreas

Here is the answer from the support team July 13, 2022

"Thank you for your patience. We have received an update on the investigation into this issue:

• Our Development Team has found that the issue is not related to Kerio Connect and has been reported even without Kerio as described in Microsoft Store Apps fail to start - Windows Client. So please refer to the resolutions suggested by Microsoft. The issue is related to the "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" user not having some registry/file permissions, and Kerio Outlook Connector does not set any registry permissions.
• We also recommend reviewing the recommendations shared in the forum discussion WINDOWS PROFILE DAMAGED AFTER INSTALLATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION MAIL BOX that advocates for registry tweaks. Several customers confirmed that the advice resolved the problem. Moreover, there are anecdotal reports that the online Office repair has worked for some customers.

I guess they reffer to a thread like this: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/microsoft-store-apps-fail-to- start-check-registry-file-permissions
I apply the fix from <_at_>LogitComputer and it work.

I cant understand GFI. I can replicate the problem while installing KOFF so it has to do with the setup. Ok, the problem itself can come from MS but the installer of KOFF trigger it so here we need a solution.

Regards
Andreas

This has happened more frequently since the new staffing arrangements, and I've been trying to figure out why that might be the case for my customer. When this happens, the Microsoft account associated with it is completely destroyed, making it impossible to get this working again.

After trying to fix with Tweaking.com tool, start works, but notifications & system icons no. Is it possible to fix this?

Unfortunately, we also have the same problem. It must be the Kerio Connect, since only Office and the Kerio Connect were installed on test systems.

Michael, check the registry permissions that LogitComputer find out. You can also follow the link to the windowsclub to check other permissions related to this problem.

Check extended permissions on " Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders".
If there are only four entries and none of them are application, remove them all and use the checkbox to inherit rights from the parent structure.
Click Apply and OK. It should now contain six permissions, two of which are application permissions.
Now the Start menu should be back up, but search may still not work.

I found this:
https://call4cloud.nl/2022/06/the-adventures-of-the-broken-s tore-apps-across-the-8th-s-1-15-2-1/

Could someone from GFI take a look at this?

We are still fixing broken start menu, modern apps, notifications, list of wifi networks, search. Sometimes everything can be fixed using Tweaking.com, sometimes only start menu is fixed. It's exhausting.
