Windows 10: My taskbar freezes/starts loading when I try open up an app, close an app etc.

My computer has been doing fine until one day it has been running slow, crashing etc. I cannot provide a screenshot as when I try to, it wont let me. I have tried pressing windows key + r to get in the run prompt, but when I write something it closes and my taskbar is frozen. Anyway to fix this?

Store App opens loads for about a second then closes


1. Go to "This PC"
2. Double click "OS (C"
3. Open "Users"
4. Open your username (The Profile you are currently working in)
5. Open "AppData"
6. Open "Local"
7. Open "Packages"
8. Open "Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe"
9. Open "LocalCache"
10. Delete the entire folder, with contents, you see there.
For those who didn't want/need a step by step:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
Then delete the one folder in LocalCache.
And that's pretty much it. Opened store and no issues after. Also if anyone is having issues with the Mail App, if you have AVG, it's the firewall on that so just turn it off and mail will start syncing. Hope this helps everyone.

 

Store App opens loads for about a second then closes


On the free upgrade, build 10240, the Windows 10 Store App opens for about a second with the loading graphic, but then closes immediately. I tried multiple ways to open it - taskbar icon, start menu tile, searching for it, heck I even asked Cortana to start it. All to no avail.

Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall it?

 

PC freezing when loading apps and copying files after cold boot.

Since I have WD hard drives I decided to use WD Diagnostics and the drives passed the quick and the short test.

Although I think I may have found the problem.

I think it's my IDE DVD drive.
Fisrt of all it always boots up twice for some reason when I start the PC.
When the system has loaded into windows after cold boot, the DVD drive continues to spin really hard till it makes the case vibrate.
Tried to open the usual apps when the drive is spinning and the system freezes.
When I removed the disk and stopped the DVD drive spinning, it stopped the system freezing when I open the apps.

Now I have to find why my DVD drive continues to spin after everything is loaded.
