Switch your site to development mode from inside system/tastyigniter/config/constant.php file. change the ENVIROMENT constant value to development, then go to your site menu page and copy paste the error on the screen here.

Remember to switch back to production

OUTSTANDING!

Thanks @ScarlettN, I was experiencing the exact same problem and your solution just spared  me a lot of research time.

After installing the update the Menu on the frontend is empty. How do I fix this?

        I can't seem to get anything still. I have changed it to development but still empty. I don't see any error on the screen really. Is there a way I can send you my login details to check please? I need this to be fixed urgently?

        Thanks

            Finally figured the menus wasn't displaying because the categories module wasn't active on the local layout. Adding the categories module to the Local Layout fixed the issue.
