Start menu does not open after Power Shell Command

errorproxy · 06 Jan 2016

So my mail app was not opening links. So I looked up how to reinstall the mail app. Got to this: http://www.howtogeek.com/224798/how-...stall-window...

I uninstalled the apps, then ran the powershell command: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”} to reinstall the mail app.

A bunch of red errors appeared in the prompt and now my start menu, notifications, onedrive,... won't work.

How do I restore these functions? sfc also does not work in Powershell but does work in CMD. Also, it does nothing.

Hi, unfortunately this seems to be a known bug which MS is puzzled about (from what I read elsewhere) and this is the typical consequence of running this command.

Two options:
1. restore from your most recent disk image. (Everyone needs to use disk imaging - Aomei Backupper or Macrium Reflect - both free - a lesson only learnt after some suffering for too many people, alas).

If you don't use disk imaging (yet) then

2. In place upgrade repair install using a Win 10 installation medium
(See Tutorials for a guide if unsure).
