  1. Action Center/Mail/Calender App/Start Menu Bug


    Is there any way to recover a frozen Action Center besides these dated and failed resolutions? This started with the Start Menu on my PC freezing, not responding, or if sucessful pop-up, then not responding to cursor action. After attempting several fixes- Resetting Explorer would temporarily resolve this,; then not at all. System Scan & repair App ($) fixed it. The Mail App froze at the same time, resetting Explorer did F.A. and $ystem $can & Repair only made it invisible -Microsoft store says "you have this installed" (but where did it go?). Before there was an icon to click on in Start that could be pinned to Start or Taskbar; with that gone and the fact that it is a System App; there are no simple folder location where it can be easily accessed. Finally, the Action Center that no longer sees any action- Resetting Explorer, likewise did nothing to resolve the Action Center freeze; the $ystem $can & Repair brought in one massive batch of notifications, but after this one burst, NOTHING. ALL the solutions offered here by Microsoft proved worthless and solved NOTHING. The solution of going into App Control failed because THAT APP was apparently affected by this bug, because it would crash without responding immediately after opening. All the Powershell code offered here was not recognised by Command Prompt as valid (Get AppXManifest etc...). WTF?! This has been happening to folks for some considerable time, without any solutions offered that are VALID. The fact that these are basic desktop tools coordinating essential services within the Windows system and Microsoft is unable to resolve them is a bit disturbing. It wouldn't be so bad if there was an alternative app available to perform these functions, but with Microsoft throwing their hands up here leaves us S.O.L..

    Action Center/Mail/Calender App/Start Menu Bug

    Action Center and Start Menu Continually Fail


    Device: Surface Pro 4
    OS: Fully Updated Windows 10

    Issue: Action Center and Start Menu continually fail.
    Symptoms: After an unpredictable amount of time, Action Center and Start Menu will not open using multiple prompts. Action Center will not respond to taskbar link or swipe from the right and Start Menu will not respond to task bar click or keyboard button.

    Troubleshooting:
    • I have done several SFC scans (the first few found stuff and repaired it and subsequent runs find nothing)
    • I've done the DISM image restore health hocus pocus to no avail.
    • I've executed "Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }" in an elevated powershell. This works, until it doesn't.
    EDIT: Nothing is working now for troubleshooting. Going to try a restart and see how long until it happens again.


    ​None of these are permanent solutions. Any ideas as what is causing this and how to stop it from happening?
