Windows 10: Windows 10 Start menu not working after CORELDRAW X3

I installed CorelDraw X3 on my Windows 10 Pro x64, and after restarting, the start menu stopped working, and all the Microsoft apps that aren't .exe files also crash on startup. I can't uninstall X3 due to the errors and also it wasn't a virus. It seems to involve a file called 'twinapi.appcore.dll'

Can't install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10

Hi:

I am having the same problem. I have CorelDraw X3 Graphics Suite for my design business and just upgraded to a Windows 10 system. I went to install it and I get an error msg saying this version of CorelDraw isn't compatible with Windows 10. I can't afford
to upgrade my graphics software and my old system is toast so hoping you have some suggestions.

Thanks,

Deb

 

Can't install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10

I found a much easier way to install CorelDraw X3 on Win 10. Go to the CD with Win Explorer and in the search box type *.msi. Pick your language (EN) English and install that. Then go to the bottom of the list and install the other *.msi files. Re-boot your
computer and it works.

Installed CorelDraw X3 on new laptop, now the Start menu won’t respond

My system is running Windows 10 version 1909. The laptop is a brand new HP Stream. It was running Windows 10S, but in order to install other non-Microsoft programs, I had to disable it and only use the Home version. I was able to install Firefox (my preferred
browser), as well as Adobe Acrobat Reader, and my CorelDraw X3 program. They all work perfectly, except none of my Microsoft based app/programs (Edge, Start Menu, Cortana, Store, etc.) will open now, ever since I installed Corel.

The Windows key is completely unresponsive. I do not know how to open the command prompt, so I can't complete the steps you mentioned.

I am at a loss. I adjusted the compatibility settings in Corel to Windows 8, but I am wondering if I need to install an older version of Windows?
