Hi SAURABH2SINGH,

My name is Ralph. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

Sorry about the inconvenience this issue has caused, lets try to do some troubleshooting.

Let's run system file checker.

Make sure you've installed the latest updates for Windows 10, and then restart your machine. To find out more, read Update Windows 10.

In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.

Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)

After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.

After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.

Start menu and battery status, sound, wifi (etc..) icons not working

Hello! So i just upgraded to windows 10 yesterday, and i have a few issues.

So first i noticed settings and other windows applications don't work very well, they crash a lot. For example if i open settings (right click start menu > settings) it will take ages to load i get a window with the settings logo in the middle and it takes
a long time to load. Then after it loads i use it for 1 min and it crashes, no message i just press things and it doesn't work, not even the "x" to close works.

So now, i cant even open the start menu! when i turn the computer on i can't open it, i can just right click it.

I have noticed that if i right click it then then press search, then press the windows logo again a couple of times the start menu pops up.

After a few minutes i cant even right click the start menu.

Sound icon, battery status icon, wifi icon, action center icon and notifications are pretty much the same, i can right click them but left click does nothing.

When i right click all the options seem to work (except if the option is for example open action center).

I am currently on the last step suggested here: Action center, battery status, sound, wifi and clock icons not working

I feel powershell is stuck though.

Further info:

I have created a new user, and everything works over there EXCEPT settings i can't open settings, i press the icon and literally nothing happens.

What i think is going on is something i have done in windows 8.1 that is affecting windows 10, i hated the windows "new" apps like the new calculator or the new paint and did everything i could to get rid of those new " windows apps" which are necessary
now...

Which services deal with these apps, so i can try to restart/enable them?

Thank you.

Edit1: restarting explorer doesnt fix this, it does make me able to right click start menu again.

Furthermore it seems to me that it might be easier to fix the settings problem in the new user i created, i would prefer to keep my profile though.
