Windows 10: Start Menu, notifications "Ctrl Alt Suppr" and other not working on Windows 10 LTSB

After installing some updates, a lot of stuff stopped working, like the start menu the search bar the "Ctrl Alt Suppr" shortcut, and clicking on any icon like the sound icon, the date, the network icon, etc doesn't do anything, whenever I want to do anything I have to input "Win+X" shortcut.


The rest of the OS is working normally.


I have a Windows 10 LTSB N

I have all the drivers installed.

I followed the start menu troubleshooter.

I can open task manager through "Win+R" shortcut or right clicking the taskbar.

I have an NVIDIA gpu and the driver is up to date.

Nothing fishy installed, just firefox, gpu overclocking tool, vmware and some games.

CTRL + ALT + DEL menu not rendered at the top


Okay first of all.

It is DEFINITELY not a RAM problem. I have 16GB. The operating system is running in the background and is responding when I press CTRL + ALT + DEL, cause you can see the circle next to the cursor. The cursor responds as well..

Second, some people suggested me to use CTRL + SHIFT + ESC, I have not tried, but I will. Also this is not my problem. My problem is that the CTRL ALT DEL menu among which you can chose to turn on the task manager gives me black screen. Alt tabbing does not work with ANY software that is frozen in fullscreen, but that is normal.

On windows 7 this was not an issue. When nothing worked, ctrl alt del always worked.

On windows 10, CTRL alt deleting does not work, with some full screen applications.

 

Start Menu, Start Bar, Notifications and Alt+Tab not working

Hi all,

I have had this problem for several weeks now. I think it may have been introduced during an Update in December.

The symptoms of the issue include:

• Start menu is broken
  • Button can be hovered over (animation), but cannot be clicked or right clicked.
• Windows Explorer is very slow to open
• Alt + Tab does not work
• Certain applications break
  • Including Slack, Discord and Steam. Maybe others too but these ones just will not open or are totally frozen on whatever "Frame" they have last rendered.
• The notifications panel (bottom right next to the clock) will not open
• The calendar will not open
• Any settings menu that follows the Windows 10 theme will not open
  • Example "Settings" opens but sits on the blue window with the cog in the middle, never loading fully.

To try and resolve this I have taken many steps.

Steps taken:

• Opening the command line and typing sfc /scannow
• Creating a new Windows user copying all of my files across, deleting the old user and signing into the new user with my microsoft account.
  • As executed by Support Agent 1.
• Repaired windows downloading the Windows 10 iso as executed by Support agents 2 and 3.
• Ensured Windows 10 is up-to-date with the latest version.
• Ensured all other drivers are up to date.

The issue is still persisting and at this point it's looking like I may have to format the drive and reinstall everything - not something I want to do as my internet if fairly slow for downloading all my programs, and I also use this PC for work so would
rather not have to potentially take time out of my work schedule.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might fix this, or will Windows be patching this issue?

Thanks
