    Takes Double Click on Start Menu items in Administrator profile


    When I use my admin account, I have to double click most start menu items to interact with them, including the 'Switch User' icon menus and the power off/sleep menus.From my standard accounts its the regular one click to initiate from start menu.Any ideas why I have to double click in the admin account and single click in the standard user account?

    :)

    No Fan Control menu item in ATITool 0.26

    .27b3 problems with 8800GT 256MB

    I tried the .27b3 and encountered some problems.
    • Default profile comes up 0.00 / 0.00
    • App hard locks
    • Still no fan menu
    In the setup menu the following items appear:
    • Overclocking
    • Artifact scanning
    • Temperature monitoring
    • Gamma control
    • Startup
    • 3D-detection
    • Driver tweeks
    • Miscellaneous
    I'm running XP SP2 running NVIDIA 169.21 drivers.

    The device details are displayed correctly now.

    Regards,

    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

    No items in start menu

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    First I would suggest you to click on all apps in start menu and see if you can find the apps there, if yes then right click on the app and select Pin to start.

    If the issue persist then I would suggest you to run sfc scan and check if it helps:

    The “sfc /scannow” command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.



    a) Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard and select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from
    that menu.

    b) On the command prompt window, type the following command, and then press “Enter



    sfc /scannow



    c) Follow the on-screen instructions and complete the scan.



    If still the issue persist run DISM and check:

    • Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
      • Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
      • Click File > Run New Task
      • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
      • Type CMD
    Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth



    Hope this information helps and let us know the status of the issue we will be glad to help you further.
