  1. My windows start button and windows related apps arent opening


    My PC Came up with an install screen for "Update" and i accidentally hit it, after, my windows start menu and settings tab have stopped working. I was brought to a BSOD and the error was in the fslx.sys and the error code name was "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGES_AREA." I've tried "DSIM", "SFC /scannow", "chkdsk /f /r" and the windows media creation tool but non seems to work. Any help?


    Edit: The sfc scan says there isnt anything needing to be repaired.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Change the start button picture AKA How to screw Windows up: The Complicated Way

    This should (in theory) change the start button, but here goes anyways. I did (or didn't, whatever you want to call it) do this on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    Step 1: Get artsy
    Make a sweet picture of a nuclear trefoil from the Duke Nukem website.

    Step 2: Rambo, I choose you!
    Grab ResEdit x64, attempt to assume control of C:\Windows, and Explorer.exe - I apparently had trouble doing this right. Plan B: Copy Explorer.exe elsewhere.

    Step 3: Take the safety off
    Open new Explorer.exe with ResEdit, delete pictures 6801, 6805, and 6809, add the sweet trefoil 3 times (interesting...), rename one picture to 6801, the next to 6805, the last to 6809 (making sure that each of them are "English (United States)"). Save. Don't attempt to run the new Explorer.exe to see if it works.

    Step 4: Pop a few shots
    Attempt to write over the original Explorer.exe.

    Step 5: Miss
    Windows says I have to get permission to do that.

    Step 6: Grab a bigger gun
    Pop into Linux, teach Windows a thing or two.

    Step 7: Complain about the giant hole in your forehead
    Start Windows, around this time you should be greeted by a black screen and a message that says that Explorer.exe has crashed; if not, you are unlucky *Smile My windows start button and windows related apps arent opening :)

    Step 8: Grab a band-aid
    Curse like a sailor. Pop back into Linux, notice that there are Explorer.exe.1 and Explorer.exe.2 in the Windows folder. Delete FUBARed Explorer.exe, rename Explorer.exe.2 to Explorer.exe.

    All in all, nothing was lost. If anybody knows how to do it correctly, do tell.
