Windows 10 Start Menu / Cortana Not working being caused by GPO
Hello everyone, im new here and really need help. I support a school district, the majority of our machines are Win 7 however we are starting to upgrade a few users to Windows 10 so they can get used to it before the mass roll out.
I am having an issue though, i upgrade the machine to Windows 7 and everything is working all good, then when i put the machine in the correct OU gpupdate etc... when i log back in the start button/menu doesn't work, cortana doesn't work neither does the search functionality. I have researched all over the web and none of the fixes that people are going to suggest work like
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"*}
that doesn't work.... it has something to do with the current GPO that's in place and i don't know what is causing it. I tested to make sure it is the GPO, i had it working then moved it to the OU with the GPO it stopped working, then in order to get it to work again i had to "Reset this PC" after doing the reset it works again. then i moved to OU again and it stopped working.... could someone please review the GPO (See attached) and let me know if anything you think might be causing this behavior im completely stumped... or can someone let me know where in the registry i may be able to make changes to make it work again.
