  1. Help! Windows 10 Start Button/Taskbar not working


    Like the title suggests, my start button and taskbar are no longer working correctly. I can right-click on most things and bring up other menus that will allow me to get where I need to go eventually, but it won't let me click on anything like it should. I've tried running PowerShell commands (it always tells me there are corrupt files and can't fix them), I've tried creating a new admin account, I've tried installing the latest windows updates, and nothing seems to fix it. It's not the end of the world, but it's very inconvenient and I didn't know if there was some kind of secret fix I didn't know of.

    Windows 10 taskbar and start button not working

    An in-place upgrade (repair) will not delete your user installed apps. Using the ISO, mount it (open with explorer), run Setup.exe as Administrator. When you get to this screen, make sure the top option is dotted.
