    Newly downlowded; missing menus, blank screens, apps don't work...


    I just downloaded Windows 10 and am having issues with: missing pop-up menus; "Edge" & "Store" apps don't run (open with plain blue screens); I can't access Settings (same problem--I get only a plain blue screen); also Word 7 is buggy (i.e. the minimize button is missing when I have a doc open). From reading other threads here, I decided I should run a System File Check in Windows, but when I right click on the Start button (well...where I assume the start button is--all I have is a black square in the lower right corner!) all I get is a tall rectangle box with an arrow, and no text, no menu choices. When I click on the arrow, I get another tall box with no options.
    I have an HP Touchsmart desktop (would like to give more specifics, but the "my computer" file is gone and I don't know where to find that info in 10 yet). I use Firefox...is that the problem? I'd sure appreciate any ideas of where I should go from here. Thank you! *Smile

    Social 1.3 causes Nokia N8 phone to crash/hang/freeze.

    My Social 1.3 suddenly ceased working this weekend and I don't know why. It won't load at all and opening the app from the menu just shows a blank screen.

    Hi AnnetteC, welcome to Ten Forums. I would try to run the SFC command and see if that helps. This is from the tutorial forum. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html . There are other ways to get to open a command prompt such as *Start + X on your keyboard. The tutorial has a link to a whole bunch of different ways to open one. Work through the tutorial, it will show you a number of ways to attack this problem.

    The scan just completed, and it did not find any integrity violations. Darn...I was hoping that would fix it.

    Now what should I try? Can anyone please direct me to threads on the forum that might help me? Thank you!

    Sometimes you need to run the scan 3 times. if that won't fix the problems try the DISM step and then try SFC again. Follow the tutorial it will lay out the procedure. From the tutorial:
