Windows 10: Taskbar Items No Longer Work, No Apps, Unable to Create New User...

1st post here so be gentle lol.
My PC has been runnign great for the most part on Windows 10 since July 29th.
However, yesterday I came upstairs to find my PC's screen blacked out (still on however) and unresponsive so I had to hit reset and sure enough it finished Windows updates upon reboot only to reboot while it was finishing up the updates.
Now my Note, One Drive, Office, etc keep giving me crash notifications upon getting to my desktop along with the worst of it, a dead Start and Notification menu.
I said no more to this “OS” and went to do a roll back and well…I cannot do that because in MS’s infinite wisdom they allowed their media creation tool to overwrite your much needed BT & WS folders thus eliminating the ability to revert…bravo MS. *Mad
I loathe where MS is going now and think I want nothing to do with 10 anymore.

Upon further investigation the only thing that works with a left click on my task bar is task view and show hidden icons. Start, search, networks, volume, and notifications are unresponsive however I can right click on them.
I cannot create a new user to get a fresh start as all those options have no effect when clicked and all my associated apps under default apps are blank and when clicked to choose a default app I get a "No installed app for this type of file or protocol".
So it seems all my apps are gone and something is seriously wrong.
I uninstalled all the updates from Aug 12th and on, those that allowed me to, and still no change.
I tried the powershell command with no success along with the bat file fix.
Totally at my wits end and have no idea what to do here minus a full reinstall *cry
When I try to do a refresh and keep my files it tells me everything needs to be reinstalled so what is the point.
I miss my Windows 8.1 I think lol.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Unpin an icon from Windows 10 taksbar when the OS won't display menu on right click.

Windows 10 has dealt me yet another surprise. Suddenly the right click button no longer works on any Taskbar icons. I want to remove an icon from the taskbar, but am unable to do so, as I can't access the pop-up menu normally displayed by a right click.
I don't know how recent this problem is as I have not had to access the pop-up on any Taskbar items recently, but I do know that it was working a few months ago. This is not a recent install of Windows 10. I've had it for several years and it periodically
creates new problems, most of which remain unresolved.

 

No longer able to open any Windows 10 Apps

Have you tried creating a new user account?

When apps are no longer working, you can try creating a new user account first to see if the issue is just the user account or your windows itself.

If the apps are working on a new user account, you can transfer your files in there .

If the apps are not working on the new user account, you need to reset your windows or do a clean installation.

 

Hello Udonitron
Don't worry if anybody treats you like crap gets throne off as it would break the rules so since I don't want to break the rules I have to treat you good lol*Tongue

Anyways you can try do to a system restore point back to before this problem started.
that should fix the problem

 

Lol..I tried but the only restore available to me was 1 hour prior to the issue... Doomed.

 

No more ideas it appears?
Total reinstall then I suppose if no one here has ideas.
