I can't do anything to it.

Describe the bug

Start menu is not working when clicked.

Maybe a fix or a light version of explorer patcher just for Toolbar

Actual outcome

For now it's not working. I am using search bar for some stuff.

SentinelOne is blocking the files needed for the windows 10 start menu to work. They may not even be installed. See this comment on how to manually remove EP: #4628 (comment)

You will need to add the exclusions to it that you were told to add to windows defender previously here: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases

Your username needs to be a member of the local administrators group though for the exclusions to work as well.
