  1. Prompt to finish setting up windows even though laptop has been in action for a year


    Hey all, just curious if anyone else gets this from time to time. Today I turned my laptop on and a screen come up prompting me to finish setting up windows as if I had turned the laptop on for the very first time. It has only happened about three times but I was just wondering if this is a thing after an update or something? Thanks

    :)

    Cannot receive any notification from action center, "Some settings are managed by your organization." is keeping display on Settings > Notifications & Actions

    Hi Dui,

    Let's get this sorted out. We suggest you follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type sfc<space>/scannow and press Enter.
    • Once the scan is complete, restart your computer.

    Check you can go to Notifications & actions to enable/disable the settings.

    Share with us the results.

    Thanks.

  3. Successful action!


    I have tried these suggestions that I found via google. According to different forums these below methods are possible solutions - however they didnt work for me. Still cant right-click and cant log on to Startmenu, Store or apps or anything. Even in Safe-mode i cant right-click on taskbar to be able to pin or unpin. Anyone know what to do?

    Method 1 : Using Powershell

    Step 1: Right click on Start Menu button and open Command Prompt as an administrator.

    Step 2: Type in powershell and hit enter.

    Step 3: Paste the following Command in the Powershell(previosuly was Command Prompt) window and hit enter.

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    Step 4: Wait for the process to finish and complete the command

    Step 5: When it finishes try clicking on Taskbar, Start Menu, Cortana, hopefully they will work by now. If not, use the next method.

    Method 2 : Using tha batsolution

    Step 1 : Download this file » 10services_default.bat (62 KB)

    Step 2 : Open the download file as an administrator.

    Step 3 : Wait for 10 seconds, after 10 seconds it will start working

    Step 4 : When the working process is finished, close every Window and Restart your PC

    Step 5 : Now try clicking on Taskbar, Start Menu, Cortana. They will surely work as normal by now.

    Thanks

    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:

    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
