Windows 10: Start, Edge, Settings not working or shut down immediately

Having a problem the last week or so. Started with Edge browser shutting down moments after launching. IE and Chrome work just fine. While trying to figure this one out, also noticed the start menu will not pop up and the search box disappears when I click the start button. Attempts to open settings also fails, the settings window starts to open and then just closes. Ransfc /scannow in Windows Power Shell, it found a few corrupted files and fixed. Resart computer and same problem exist. Looking for more ideas. Thx.
