    . . . Only, I don't have a network or system tray icons on my taskbar.Now this is problematic. Are there any known ways one can reinstall the app folder and activate the apps within or known workarounds? Thanks in advance for helping me fix my stupid.

    I've never used Linux, but it can't hurt to try it, right? I'll have to shut down soon, but I'll get back to you.

    Thanks,

    Hi and welcome to Tenforums.

    Sounds like you might want to try a repair install by doing an in-place upgrade. You can grab the appropriate W10 ISO from MSTechBench, right-click and select mount, then run setup.exe.

    Hope that helps!
