I did a clean installation on a brand new machine. I then get the update screen which I install all updates. Let it finish apply and then my trouble start.
My main menu did not open, As you can see I use all windows terms as my skill in Zorin is still very weak but I am trying to gain more people to use Zorin as to Windows.
I am a Windows Technician and in place of in stalling windows to customers computer and use illegal software with there consent install the Zorin OS6 free. Please help me and giude me to rectify the problem as i am using Zorin OS5 64Bit Gamer Edition at home and so far I am only enjoying it

Try this.
Get internet through ethernet cable (not wifi).
Reboot.
From the grub menu choose the "recovery mode" (usually option No2).
From the new list that will open choose "dpkg" and let it run.
This will update your packages correctly and fix broken packages (if any).
After its finished, boot again to your desktop and check if all is ok.
