    Need some assistance with missing functions


    After a month or so of using Windows 10 I noticed several functions were no longer working. I reinstalled it last night. It took forever and the functions were still not working. Tonight I contact live chat support and was on with them from 7:30 pm to 11:30. First rep stated that I had lost my free installation. Then we got disconnected. Contacted them again and guy tried to help me but then we got disconnected. Finally got someone that told me my windows 10 account was activated after she remotely checked my computer. However she said she could not tell me why some functions were no longer working. My issues are:

    Cannot find settings
    Cortana does not work
    Search does not work
    Lost Edge
    Lost applications
    Could not log into my MSN without going through Foxfire

    Anybody have any ideas. Seems like my start menu is not working completely.

    :)

    Cortana needs some assistance?

    Heellloooow,

    Here you go! I'm here, telling Cortana : ''Hey you human-wannabe (joking), launch Dota 2''. And she offers me to launch several executables without any of them being the one I want.

    My question is : Is there any way I can show Cortana (through Windows or by coding) the path to particular executable to fit with a particular command I choose.

    For example : I'd like to link ''Dota 2'' with the path : D/Games/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota.exe

    If not, then is it planned to add this feature in a following update? (I mean, really, Microsoft, I would be very disapointed if you didn't ... )

    Hi mama1050,

    Welcome to the 10forums.

    Have you tried checking your system files?

    Also don't forget the space between sfc /scannow

    Not needed with System File Checker, you can type it in one line: Code: sfc/scannow[/quote]

    axe0: I don't even know how to get to the admin command prompt. I am not very computer savy. Can you tell me where it is?

    In the search function, search "command prompt" (without quotes).
    When you see command prompt in the results, right click on the command prompt and click "Run as administrator", if prompted click yes / allow.
