Suggestions only. Assuming you have installed all the updates available. If not, please go to Windows Update and check for available updates.
1. Do a system file check to look for corrupt files.
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (ADMIN) > type this....sfc /scannow
> Enter
It will take quite a while. Just wait. When finished, it will give you a summarized report.
2. Do a dism for imahe restore.
Use the same Command Prompt (ADMIN) > copy and paste this......dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
> Enter
It will also take quite sometime. When finished, it will give you the result.

Hi,
When you click "All apps", does it list other apps installed in your system?
Or you can try to re-register the startmenu with the following elevated powershell
Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
More important, as david mentioned, please make sure to install latest Windows Updates.
Regards
