  1. Windows Start key won't open


    So I looked into how to fix this issue but it just kept being unresponsive. My windows key, yes the one on the bottom left of your screen doesn't open up for me. I tried safe booting and going back to normal boot but that didn't work and I have restarted it many times. I need help, can someone help me.

    :)

    Windows 10 won´t start any program as Administrator

    Hello. I´m having this issue since installed one of the latest Windows 10 system updates.

    When I try to open any program that requires Administrator confirmation (that screen with the Yes/No question), this dialog won´t appear anymore. The screen background stays darkened and nothing happens.

    1. Using Windows 10 Home (x64)
    2. My microsoft user account is properly checked
    3. I´m the administrator of the PC
    4. Already tried do create another administrator user account - same problem, no success
    5. Cannot start any program/service that requires administrator authorization (not even regedit)
    Please help!
