  1. Task bar now working correctly / sfc scan indicates corrupt files


    I just installed a WFH program onto my computer and now am having trouble with the task bar. Can-t type in search bar, windows button won't pop up menu, and wifi networks do not come up either.Ran a sfc scan and it indicates that there are some corrupt files. I got the .log info put can't make sense of the information provided on there. Not sure in the program I installed did something or if this was a dormant issue that just got exacerbated by the installation.How can I resolve this issue with an entire reinstallation of Windows?

    :)

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    As you are facing issues with icons in the Task bar after November update, do let us know the following:

    • Is this issue confined only with icons in the Task bar?
    • What happens when you try to click on those icons?

      Turn system icons On or Off
      and select it.
    • Try to turn on the icons that are visible.

    Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
