Programs Won't Open in Seach/Start Menu
Ran into a small problem after upgrading to the Anniversary Update. The update fixed a lot of my problems after I did a clean install so that was very good. I just have one small issue but after that's fixed I should be perfect.
The only problem I'm having now is when I search for programs like Control Panel, it shows up but when I go and click on it, it won't open. When I hover over it, it turns gray (like it should) but besides that, nothing happens.
Recent items seems to work and so does web portion of it.
What's also weird is some programs like Steam allows you to right click on that and go to a certain game (its like a shortcut). That works but left clicking it doesn't.
The start menu is pretty much the same story. In the list of programs that were installed, I can't open any of them. If I click on Calculator a small thin bar appears below it that's filled partially. Other then that, nothing else happens.
I was looking around the forums and I saw that some people created new user accounts to see if was happening to just one account. I was unable to create an account in control panel (clicking on Add a new user... in CP didn't work) so I opened up Run and ran netplwiz which allowed me to access the account page and add a new user in. I added a new user with Admin privileges.
I switched over to the new account and everything was working there. Searches were working, programs could be selected from the search area and in the start menu list, everything was pretty much perfect. Then when I switched back over to my main account, the same problem is still there. I think it has something to do with the users...
Not sure where to proceed from this. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
