'Start' button disappeared from Personal Meeting Room in app

The 'Start Meeting' button has disappeared from the desktop application (Macbook Pro) for My Personal Meeting ID.
It just shows the buttons 'copy invitation' and 'edit'. 
I don't know that I have changed any settings anywhere.
I have to go into the online Zoom account > meetings > personal meeting room > start new meeting to be able to get into my own meeting room. 
How can I get the button back? 
Thanks!

The resolution that Zoom sent to me and does work is when using the application (not via the internet) I have to go to the Home menu and click 'New Meeting' from there. 
Hope that helps others with this same situation. 🙂

I also have this issue and it wasn't resolved in the roll-back of the client.

But, it was so much better with the 'start' button on the meeting page. What they told you isn't a 'solution' but an alternate way which isn't as good. Why would the 'start' button vanish and why don't they fix it?

It's still not a resolution because why on earth would anyone want to have a meeting that can't be started from the meeting list?
