Windows 10 Start button is not working windows photo image viewer is crashing cannot close applications from the taskbar
Windows 10 Start button is not working windows photo image viewer is crashing cannot close applications from the taskbar
I really dont know what happened but I got several problems with a fresh installation of windows 10:
- Start button not working
- windows photo image viewer crashing
- cannot close applications from the taskbar
- SFC /scannow - not working
- ... and so on
Use explorer (or from the task manager or win button+R) to run cmd.exe (as administrator) from %windir%system32 and then run "powershell.exe" otherwise run directly %windir%winsxspowershell.exe (as administrator).
Paste the following string in the powershell and wait
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"}
I suppose that it should re-register the installed Apps from the xml manifests.
