Windows 10: Weird behaviour after clean start

Hey,

I've been having issues with Win10pc - v. high memory usage and unresponsive for 10 mins after waking up - so I ran the Memory Diagnostic Tool from this site and then followed the Clean Boot instructions it contains.

I now have some weird behaviour:

• My PC won't accept keyboard input into the Win10 Search bar or MS Edge but other browsers, apps and MS Office suite work fine.
• MS Word/Excel started as usual but when I tried to start Outlook it didn't show the UI for about 10-15 mins.

I have re-started PC a couple of times with no errors.


Grateful for any help in diagnosing.

:)

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

weird windows 10 behaviour

Just wonder if anyone has encountered these behaviours? It happens to me every time without exception:

If I do a restart, the computer restarts but makes the windows 7-start sound.
Upon getting to the desktop, the laptop battery meter is missing and the quiet hours, location and flight mode from the action centre are also missing.

If I then shut down the computer and start it up again, it start without making any sound and the battery meter and the three action centre icons reappear.

Apart from that, the computer/files are the same. Weird, it’s like having two different profiles.
Ideas anyone?
