Windows 10: Nothing is working after upgrading to Windows 10

Hey,

I just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and none of the features are working. The windows app store does not launch, the notification center does not open, the side menu does not come up, and the start menu does not open either (I can only right click it). When I open Microsoft Edge it says "This app can't open".

Anyone have a solution?



:)

 

Nothing works after upgrading to Windows 10

Original title: Windows 10 not working

I have just upgraded for free to Windows 10. After 2 days I can get nothing to work, when I click on the Windows icon (bottom left) nothing happens. I can only access anything by going in through Firefox icon. How can I get to settings to revert to Windows
7?

 

Nothing works after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi Graham,

Thank you for updating the status.

Your efforts to work on this issue is very much appreciated.

If you have any other queries related to Windows, feel free to post and we will be happy to further assist you.

Thank you.

 

what is your computer / hardware?

 

Maybe your upgrade got corrupted

 

i7 4770k cpu
16 gb RAM
gtx 780
1 tb hard drive
250 gb ssd

Originally installed a copy of windows 8 when I built it and upgraded to 8.1

 

I'd start in the event viewer to see what errors are occuring.

i'm not sure if sfc /scannow works in 10, but it's worth a try.
also could try chkdsk /r.

 

Have you check your motherboard manufacturer's website to see if there are new Win 10 drivers? Also, do you have Nvidia Control Panel? If not uninstall the driver with DDU and reinstall with the latest from Nvidia (currently 353.62). Also check "Programs and Features" and make sure that the driver version is not different from the version seen in device manager & Control Panel; uninstalling with DDU and reinstalling will fix this issue as well.

 

I was able to run sfc /scannow and It said "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."

Yes, all my drivers are up to date

 

Edited the above, let us know...

 

That's most likely not much of a problem, but if you want to rule it out, check this thread out: SFC /scannow found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums

Did you look through the event viewer?
I do it like: open the viewer, start the application to make it fail, and then see the error in the viewer, just to keep the time together.

 

This is what I get from event viewer when I try to open the windows app store

"Activation of app Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The application cannot be started. Try reinstalling the application to fix the problem. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information."

 

I tried this, but it did not fix the issue

 

I was able to resolve this issue. There is another way to access your settings if windows 10 is not functioning properly. If you right click on your desktop and select "personalize", it will open your settings. On the top left, press the back arrow and it will bring you to your settings main menu. Click on "Update & Security" and then "Recovery" and Reset the PC. You will be able to keep your files if you reset. This will reinstall Windows 10, but you will lose some apps doing so. After you Reset the PC, there will be a list on your desktop of the apps that were removed, so you can easily reinstall them. Resetting and reinstalling windows 10 has fixed my problem. I hope this helps people who have similar issues

 

When i try this it opens a error page with title "ms-settings*Tongueersonalization-backgroun" with the message "This file does not have an affiliate program that allows you to perform this action. Install a program or if you already have one installed , create an association in the Default Programs control panel ."

I don't know what do do definition just don't open for anything someone can help me?
