How to Fix the Start Button Missing Issue on Intermec CN51

If you own an Intermec CN51 device running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, you may encounter a problem where the Windows Start button is missing from the screen. This can make it difficult to access the device settings, applications, and other features. Fortunately, there are some solutions that can help you restore the Start button and use your device normally.

In this article, we will explain why the Start button may disappear on your Intermec CN51 device and how to fix it using two methods: clean booting and editing the registry. We will also provide some tips on how to prevent this issue from happening again in the future.

Why Does the Start Button Disappear on Intermec CN51?

The Start button is a software feature that allows you to access the Windows menu on your device. However, sometimes this feature may be disabled by a setting in the device registry. The registry is a database that stores information about the device configuration, preferences, and installed applications. If the registry entry for HardwareStartKeyEnabled is set to 1, it means that the device will only use the hardware Start button on the keypad and not display the software Start button on the screen.

This setting may be changed by some applications or updates that modify the registry without your knowledge. It may also be changed accidentally by you or someone else who has access to your device. If this happens, you will not see the Start button on your screen anymore and you will have to use the hardware Start button instead.

How to Fix the Start Button Missing Issue on Intermec CN51?

There are two ways to fix the Start button missing issue on your Intermec CN51 device: clean booting and editing the registry. We will explain both methods below and provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform them.

Clean Booting

Clean booting is a process that resets your device to its default settings and removes any temporary files or data that may cause problems. Clean booting can help you restore the Start button on your screen by clearing any registry changes that may have disabled it. However, clean booting will also erase any custom settings, preferences, or applications that you have installed on your device. Therefore, you should back up any important data before performing a clean boot.

To clean boot your Intermec CN51 device, follow these steps:

• Press and hold the Power button for about 2 seconds and then release it. The Intermec Power Options screen appears.

• Select Reboot from the menu. The device reboots.

• Watch the startup screen. As soon as a white bar appears in the center of the screen, press and hold the Power button again. If you see a message saying Launching OS before you press and hold the Power button, you have missed the timing and you need to start over from step 1.

• When you see a message saying Release IO Button, release the Power button.

• You will see a message saying Enter first key in 20 seconds. Press the Space key.

• You will see another message saying Enter second key in 6 seconds. Press the Enter key.

• You will see another message saying Confirm first key in 6 seconds. Press the Space key again.

• You will see another message saying Confirm second key in 6 seconds. Press the Enter key again.

• You will see a final message saying Cleanboot Confirmed. The device will continue the clean boot process and restore its default settings.

After clean booting your device, you should see the Start button on your screen again. You can now access the Windows menu and use your device normally. However, you may need to reinstall any applications or restore any settings that you had before clean booting.

Editing the Registry

Editing the registry is another way to fix the Start button missing issue on your Intermec CN51 device. Editing the registry allows you to change the setting that controls whether or not to display the software Start button
