Startmenu Crash

I have for some time tried to get cortana on windows 10 working.

When i open the startmenu and press settings, the startmenu crashes and nothing happens.

If i click "cortana and search settings" in settings, nothing happens.

I have absolutely no idea of how to fix this problem, anyone knows how to fix this?

 

Startmenu not "updating"

Hey,

I got the following problem:

• Newly installed Programs/Apps will not show up in the startmenu
• Programs/Shortcuts I add to the Startmenu folders want show in my startmenu
• Startmenu search won't find the new items either, even not if they are pinned to the startmenu

What I have tried to fix my problem:

• Rebuilding my search index
• Reinstalling all windows apps, including cortana
• Try to locate the issue with the System File Checker (sfc /scannow) ⇒ nothing found
• Running the troubleshooter ⇒ returns "incorrect permissions on Windows Search directoriers"
  • changed the default Search folder where the index is saved
  • checked permissions for the Search folder (seems ok)

What I think initially caused the error:

• I switched from German to English on my Win10 PC
  • I then realised that a lot of my searchable windows settings still showed inGerman and not in English and were in addition not clickable anymore (nothing happended)
  • I could not fix the issue so I switched back to German
  • This made the Win10 settings searchable and clickable again, but since then my Startmenu seems to be stuck on its old index

I am running Windows 10 Education with the Anniversary Update - which for me removed Cortana (maybe this issue is connected?)

Any help or advise?

 

Membuka file/apk .exe muncul select an app to open this .exe file

Hi, LSP UM

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

We understand that you have encountered the problem of accidentally setting Adobe Acrobat as the default application for opening .exe files, which causes all your applications to try to open using Adobe Acrobat. We suggest you try the following options:

1. Reset the file association:

- Right-click on any .exe file in File Explorer and select Properties.

- In the General tab, click on "Change..." next to the "Open Method" button. In the General tab, click on "Open as" next to the "Change..." button.

- A window will pop up showing a list of programs. You may not see the correct program here, so click on "More Applications", scroll down and select "Find other applications on this PC".

- Navigate to and select the Open as Program.exe file and press Open. c:\windowsexplorer.exe

2. Use the Control Panel:

- Open the Control Panel and go to Default Programs > Set Associations.

- Scroll down to find .exe in the list, select it, and click Change Program.

- Select the correct program that should be or will be used to open the .exe file for that particular application. explorer.exe

3. Registry Repair (Advanced): If the above steps don't work, you may need to fix the problem through the Windows Registry Editor. Please note that this is for advanced users, so proceed with caution.

- Open the Registry Editor by pressing , type and press Enter. win + Rregedit

- Navigate to . HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe

- Delete the folder UserChoice.exe.

- Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer.

If the problem persists and you have previously created a System Restore Point, you may want to consider creating a System Restore Point before proceeding:

1. Open Settings:

- Click on the Start button in the lower left corner of the taskbar and select the Settings icon (gear shape).

2. Go to Update and Security:

- In the Settings window, click Update & Security.

3. Select Restore:

- In the Update & Security tab, select the Restore tab.

4. Find Restore this PC:

- Under the Restore tab, you will see a section for Restore this PC.

5. Select Start:

- Under the "Recover this PC" section, click "Start".

6. Select either "Keep Files" or "Delete Everything":

- Windows 11 will prompt you to choose whether to Keep Files or Delete Everything. Choosing Keep Files keeps your personal files but deletes installed applications and settings; choosing Delete Everything will restore your system to factory settings and delete all files.

7. Select a restore point:

- In the next step, you will see a list of available restore points. Select the specific restore point you wish to restore to and follow the on-screen instructions.

8. Complete the restore:

- After completing the above steps, the system will begin the restore process. Please wait patiently for the system to complete the restore operation.
