    Critical error, tile missing, and taskbar corruption problem


    My Windows 10 laptop was working fine until I downloaded the latest version of Firefox... 65.0... and couldn't get on any websites. Found out later that Avast was the culprit, but I had already tried System Restore to see if it would fix the problem. Well, that started a nightmare! At this point I not only get Critical Error - Start Menu is not working, but also tiles are missing, taskbar icons are corrupt (won't bring up menu when right clicking), and now can't open any JPG on the desktop!! Also tried to undo the System Restore to no avail. :-(


    After several days of researching the errors and trying all sorts of solutions, I haven't found a fix. This is very frustrating indeed and it makes me want to buy a Mac!


    Here's what I've tried (others also tried these "solutions" and most didn't said they didn't work):

    • sfc /scannow - said it couldn't fix the problem... there were corrupt files
    • DISM - Online Cleanup Image Restore Health
    • Windows Update tool
    • Safe Mode - msconfig toggle trick
    • Powershell
    • Get-appxprovisionedpackage trick
    • creating a new user profile
    • and several more tricks and tips

    Nothing worked!! I am trying to avoid reinstalling Windows 10 because I don't have all the software DVDs for the programs I would lose if I do a repair install. Is there anyone who knows of a way to fix these problems without reinstalling Windows??? Please help!!

    :)

    Critical Structure Corruption Windows 10

    I keep getting this error "Critical Structure Corruption" and can't seem to fix it.

    It happens while I am busy on my laptop. Here are some of the steps I have tried so far to resolve this with no success.

    1. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic = no problems so RAM looks good.
    2. Check The CPU with Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool = PASS all
    3. Drivers update, I used driver booster and did need to update 18 drivers but was able to update with no issues.
    4. Update software and drivers, well it was suggested that I update BlueStacks but the update failed, bluestacks mentioned that it might be an issue so as I do not use the tool I uninstalled the software altogether.
    5. Updated Windows, this I do regularly and automatically so no big updates were missed.
    6. Defragged the machine - system is optimized
    7. Ran anti-virus check and all's good
    8. Ran CCleaner

    Now I might mention I'm not a super user, but I'm able to follow suggestions quite well.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Critical System driver is missing or corrupt. Automatic repair fails.


    I got as far as step 20)... Was no files in the regback folder. Also was already backup and backup1 folders in the config folder there. Are these worth restoring ?
