Windows 10: Windows 10 Bugs/Issues

I've been using Windows 10 for ~5 weeks, and only recently have these problems arose. The file explorer and task manager both have the same issue; they both open in the program tab (Whatever the official name for the bar on the bottom of your screen (By Default) where all of the open programs are displayed is), and when I click on either one it glows/lights up like as if it were open, yet no matter how long I wait, no matter how many times I attempt to open it, it never does. I've tried rebooting, running an anti-virus scan, done all of the basic, obvious things one would usually do when confronted with something like this. And the problem only persists (So far that I've found) for these two programs.

Windows 10 upgrade makes my computer shut down randomly

I have the same issue. MY Windows 10 is a new OEM install. BECAUSE, last update fried my hardrive. So new SSD Drives, New OEM professional install and SINCE that install, nothing but random shutdowns. Professional diagnostic from a nationally known computer
center could not find anything. Thought it was a power cord issue. PLEASE UPDATE Windows 10. From the web searches I see Many Many people having this issue. SO, when it came time for my son to go off to college, we decided to buy him a MAC laptop.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

Step1: End Task the Windows Explorer.

• 
  Open task manager (CRTL+SHIFT+ESC)
  
• 
  Right-click on windows explorer
  
• 
  End task (Note: don’t close Task manager)
  
• 
  Click on File > Run new task
  
• 
  Type explorer.exe and press enter
  
• 
  Your search bar should be functional again.
  

Step 2: If Start menu is not working then I suggest you to check for the latest updates.

• 
  Press Windows logo key +R, enter
  MS-settings: and then press OK. This opens Settings.
  
• 
  In Settings, go to Update & security >
  Windows Update, and then select Check for updates. Install any available updates and restart your PC if required.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

No guarantees. Give this troubleshooting routine a try....................

Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
sfc /scannow

> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime.
When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
If the report is #3, use this method................
In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.
Again it will take some time.
When finished, it will give you a report.

 

I got a message saying no integrity violation; any ideas as to what it is or where I should look?

 

It tells you your system files are in good order.

I can only offer you one suggestion :
Do an in-place upgrade install, otherwise also known as Repair Install.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

Goddamn it I just tried it and it worked; thank you so much.

 

Huh ?
What works ?
The system file check, sfc /scannow ?

It can't be the Repair Install. You don't have enough time to run that.

 

Yes, the scan helped somehow.

 

Somehow ?
There are still related issues ?

 

Yes, the sound quality suddenly became god-awful, but I just fixed it and everything is better.

 

Ok. Sounds promising.
Any further related issues, please post back.

Forgot to tell you. The "bar at the bottom of the screen" is called Taskbar.
So, are the programs inside the taskbar working properly now ?

 

Sorry.
"Yes, they" working properly inside the taskbar ?
If so, please mark this thread as Solved.

If not so, please describe the problem.

Thank you.
