Windows 10: Start menu and Settings Panel not working

As I booted up my Pc this morning, I realised that for some reason Start menu is not working at all and also settings panel tries to load in then disappears.


I used the pc for 10 minutes before I realised it. Google Chrome and Spotify works perfectly. Also League of Legends client works as well and updated successfully. Then I tried to check my internet settings when settings panel couldn't load in.


Tried the Powershell solution, which said that it found some errors but fixed it so I just restarted the computer, but it is still not working.


If I remember well, the last Windows update was like a week ago, but I can't check it, because it's part of the settings panel. Also I couldn't run cmd from windows key+Q.


I tried to log out and log in. Didn't work.


I think a Windows update caused this, because im sure i don't have any virus on my pc.

Do I need to reinstall Windows or is there any solution for the problem?

Start menu not working

I found the following article, ran the suggested powershell command and my start menu is working again. Here it is as I found it:
Go to Start menu button and right click on it. This will open the contextual menu, after which you need to select Command Prompt (Admin). Once Command Prompt is open, go ahead with the following steps.

• Type and enter: Powershell
• Type the following: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
