    Strange Problem


    I noticed a strange issue with my PC today. I am running Win 10 Pro (64 bit) and after I restarted my PC today, I observed the following things:

    1. Some of the icons are missing on the taskbar. There used to be icons for Store, Calculator, Edge on my taskbar.

    2. I also observed that when I clicked on the Start button, I did not see the Start menu window. Moreover, when I right click anywhere (on a icon, folder, desktop, etc.) it takes a long time for the context menu to show up.

    3. I also have proper security software (Bitdefender & Malwarebytes AntiExploit). The system settings window too takes a long time to open.

    4. It seems that anything related to the modern metro apps does not work. When I click on the search bar (at the bottom and search for something like Paint, Snipping Tool, I am unable to open the program from the search results.

    What could this be? My PC used to be fast before this. I am running an entire system scan for threats as I write but really doubt this is related to any malware. Thanks!

    :)

    Hi RussellBanks_779

    Don't uninstall them. Go to storage sense. Move them to phone memory then insert new sd card and then again move the apps to new sd card memory from phone memory.

    Its probably related to a recent update. First thing to do is a simple restart, it sometimes sorts itself out. If not then it would be worth trying a system restore to an earlier point in time when it was working properly.

    I have reset my PC (keep files option) and now see drive errors sometimes. This happened earlier as well and I replaced my HDD with a new one (its just been a month).
