Windows 10: Windows 10 Start, settings and other apps will not launch.

After restoring to factory i have limited access to anything. I have tried to go into powershell and reload the appxmanifest with no success. I have tried to download the windows current update and windows doesn't change. I have ran sfc /scannow and restorehealth, didn't work. Tried going through safe mode but then i lose network. At a total lost.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
