Windows 10: Taskbar/Start button not working!

I ran the PowerShell shortcut as Administrator and pasted the above. Having rebooted, I can confirm that it also worked for me.

I've attached the files, not sure if it will work.[/quote] Question: It says no access. what to do?

 

It says no access what to do?

 

To get around having to right click to run powershell as an admin...have you tried getting to powershell via the Task Manager? Open Task Manager via Ctl-Alt-Delete, then click on More details (if needed). From the File Menu, select Run new task. You can then click on the box that says "create this task with admin privileges", type powershell in the dialog box and enter. That eliminates the need to right click to run as an admin.

 

Hi. I tried this and everything was denied. Did not reboot to try it yet, but is this normal?

I already did all the other suggested fixes - ran disc services, powershell and command promp in admin mode and ran the suggested fixes, but nothing works for me. I'll re-boot and try again, then read the rest of this thread.

 

Did not work. Also when I have a program open, right licking on icon in task bar does not do anything. If I right click on empty area of task bar I have options.

 

Thanks Aveyo!
That fix worked for me.
Would like to know what was causing it. Did you spend anytime figuring out what service it was?

 

Try this - it does work ( for me, at least) !

No. But if you look at the powershell thinghy posted above, it warns about having windows firewall service on for it to work. I don't think is that one, but one of it's dependencies.

 

Okay I have tried running commands in powershell , only works until the next reboot.
Mucked around in the registry trying to manually set permissions, same scenario.
Your user profile works in Safe Mode, but what's the point?

The main issue is in regards to permissions tied directly to the user profile all files and processes
associated thereto. Instead of trying to manually go through everything and potentially add
to an already frustrating situation run software that can actually address these issues.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair


Tried Windows-repair-aio portable , free version and it worked!
Rebooted several times and yet cortana and start menu all functioning the way it should.

I really suggest buying this , just because they actually made something that works *Smile

Ya know, once again this sounds like aftermath of the Horrid KB3081444 update, which did a lot of the same things on my system, mostly the flickering and flashing. Check your updates, remove 1444 and any other update numbered from 1441 to 1455

 

That's exactly what worked for me

 

I did the following and created an account "admin123" it now works. My questions are:
How do I migrate my current info to the new account?
How do I change the name of the new account after I created it, or do I have to create another new one? What if I want to use the name of my current account?
How do I delete user accounts?
Whatever it is that makes this work when creating a new account - isn't there an easy way to edit the current account to fix this, aside from all of the other suggestions in this thread, none of which worked for me?

• Press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Escape] to start Task Manager.
• Click File -> Run new task.
• Type "cmd" into the Run dialog, tick Create this task with administrative privileges and click [OK].
• A command prompt window should open.
• Type/copy the following text and press [Enter]: net user Admin123 MyPassword /add
• Type/copy the following text and press [Enter]: net localgroup Administrators Admin123 /add
• Log off and login to the new Admin123 account. If it works correctly, you can migrate your data to the new user account. You are welcome to replace "Admin123" with your username of choice (just enclose it in quotes if it has a space, and be sure to use the same name in both commands). The login password will be "MyPassword". You can easily change it later.
• Log off
• Log on on new account
• done *

 

I'm really hoping someone can help me out. No start button, no volume control, the message box next to the volume control not working, MS Edge no go... I have tried

1. The powershell "fix" as admin
2. The batch file (says access denied)
3. The SFC /scannow command
4. Create a new user account - It won't let me (says it can't sign into MS Family right now)
5. Sacrificed a chicken (OK, it was a chicken nugget)
6. Uninstalled updates so the "newest" is KB3081452
7. Switched to tablet mode & back

When I try to click the start button, it turns from white to blue and nothing happens. I'm about to pull what's left of my hair out, any other ideas/fixes?

 

Make sure the firewall service is running. Mine was disabled and that was doing it.
