    Windows 10 64bit 1909 - search window, start menu not working, can't download anything


    Hi there,

    I'm really hoping someone can suggest something as I'm running out of ideas. My problems started when I started getting BSODs whenever restarting or booting, with the KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED error message. I gave up trying to troubleshoot this, and reluctantly decided a clean windows install would be needed.


    I ran the windows troubleshooting tool and reset Windows. Initially all seemed fine, I ran the windows updates and then almost immediately the following things started happening:

    • start menu and search bar stopped responding or the start menu would carry on working but the control panel button would stop working
    • Edge would open and then immediately close again, or not open at all
    • Selecting windows update from the control panel would not do anything
    • The mouse and/or keyboard would keep freezing up
    • Downloads would not start unable to download anything


    That was all on build 1903. I then found out that 1903 had some known issues, so:


    I've now managed to reinstall Windows using the media creation tool, so it's a completely fresh install, on a newly partitioned and formatted drive. Installed latest windows updates, and am on build 1909 18363.592. At the moment I still have the following problems:

    • Windows search field next to start menu doesn't work, won't allow input
    • Start menu opens after several seconds
    • Settings button in start menu doesn't work
    • Downloads don't start unable to download anything

    I have no idea what is going on here - I've never encountered this array of problems with windows before, and it's incredibly frustrating. I can't continue with reinstalling all of my software and drivers until I know that the Windows installation is stable and working, and at the moment it isn't.


    I'd be really grateful for any suggestions on what the problem is!

    Many thanks,

    TimF

    :)

  2. Windows 10 download speed issues

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.
    Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.
