Windows 10: My run dialog box doesn't work

Just did a clean install on 10 and was researching another problem that required the run box but mine doesn't seem to work.
I get a response that 'it didn't open in a timely manner'.
Any suggestions, thanks

:)

 

Shortcuts & env variable "PATH" corrupted, some applications broken after upgrade to Windows 10 Fall Creator Update

That is the first thing that I did. But it solved only the issue of firing commands on cmd dialog box. "Notepad++" still doesn't run when typed so at Win+R i.e. Run dialog box i.e. point 3 that I mention. Also the shortcuts are still working crazy (point
4 above. the list of applications there is crazily long).

My machine is really in horrible state and I can't imagine how much of work I will have to do to if I were to format and reinstall...

 

Left click does not open dialog box on Desktop or at Start

When I Ieft click on Start, the Desktop or the Taskbar using my Asus touchpad I cannot open the accompanying dialog box. At least not all the way. It appears as a sliver with only the arrows that would open another dialog box showing.

Left click works everywhere else on my PC, including menu items in an opened Start menu. It is an aggravating situation that can only be fixed with a reboot. Alas it doesn't last long and I'm right back to slivers of dialog boxes.

 

I had this problem with Windows 10 version 1511, which is the November update. I didn't have this issue with the original release of Windows 10, which is version 10240.

You should Google and download the ISO for that version of Windows, and make sure you download the correct edition. Home and PRO are combined on the new ISO. The old version, the editions are separate.

 

Not sure when Microsoft will release fixes for these issues. Lots of bugs in the new version.

 

Not sure what you mean about the ISO. Does it have something to do with the media creation tool?

 

2 suggestions :

1. Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
sfc /scannow

> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime.
When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
If the report is #3, use this method................
In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.
Again it will take some time.
When finished, it will give you a report.

2. If the above cannot fix the Run issue, do an in-place upgrade install, otherwise also known as repair install.
Use the link below :
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10

Click the Download Tool Now button > then run the Tool .................
Select Create installation media for another PC option > that will begin downloading the ISO to your computer.
After iso is downloaded, RIGHT click at the iso file > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
That will begin installation.
You have the choice to keep your settings, files and apps, or keep nothing.
No product key is required.
Activation is automatic.
