Windows 10: Windows 10 startup menu, taskbar functions, and settings won't open.

Hello!


My Windows 10's startup menu (windows button also), taskbar functions (wifi, battery, sound, people, search, time, notification buttons, even alt tab, and and probably some other stuff), and settings suddenly wouldn't open. I've tried a lot of solutions that worked for other people. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me.


Here's what I have tried and didn't work so far:

• sfc /scannow through powershell
  • resulted with a Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations.
• Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
  • processing gets stuck and an error pops out saying C:\AppXManifest.xml doesn't exist
• Launching safe mode then rebooting
  • all the functions work during safe mode but did not resolve the problem after reboot.
• Creating a new user account
  • Although this kind of worked, I'm afraid that I'll have to reinstall a lot of software and configurations since I'm a programming student.
• Tried launching the ms-settings: in cmd and powershell.
  • Got a "File system error (-2147219200)" from cmd after and powershell just froze.
• Performed a system restore from yesterday (back when it was still working properly) but nothing happened.
• Ran CCleaner but nothing happened.

Please help! Really need to get this fixed asap! Thank you!

Win10 start menu won`t open (SOLUTION)

To all people that suffer from same problems as I did:

-Win 10`s start menu won`t open after restart

-Win 10`s menu stops working after few days if your pc has been idle or just on.

-Win 10`s menu works after AC power down

-Win 10`s menu won`t work after restart unless you log out and relog through CTRL+ALT+DEL

It took me 7 hours to find cause of this problem, lots program reinstallations and browsing through internet.

Even Microsoft support didn`t provide the right answer for this problem, they just give you commands and advices to create new accounts, cleanup this, reinstall that, clean boot this, normal boot that. But what they don`t say is that all those problems are
caused by their so called "feature" that released with their "Fall Creators Update". A feature that saves some data into the memory, so after restart it start`s to open all your chrome windows and other programs.

CAUSE:

Your windows might get some conflicts with some programms during the session, before the update if you shutdown/restart your pc, windows where just dumping all the data out of the window, after the update it started to save it to the memory (including all the
conflicted data). THANK YOU MICROSOFT!

SOLUTION:

Go to your Search icon on the taskbar, type > Settings > Accounts > Sing-In options > Under "Privacy" uncheck/disable "Use my sing-in info to automatically setting up my device after an update or restart" > Restart

Hope it helps folks!

And ofcourse:

Microsoft, you`ve already forced us into updates with Win10.

Will you now please stop screwing up windows even more with your pointless system breaking features!

Stop reinventing the wheel.

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?
