Thanks. So no faster alternative I take it. Always appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

How long should this take? I did another clean install do fix the issues I was having then hooked up my old hard drives. I would get the 'you currently don't have permission' message so I used one...

I did a clean install of Windows 10 and the first app I installed was Google Chrome, and I began experiencing this issue after every restart. I've installed other apps since then, all the latest...

Ok, and if on current install I used Kari's method and moved the User folder in audit mode, will the reset move it back to OS drive or keep it on the separate drive?

Thanks, Brink. In the clean install guide it says to Temporarily disconnect all non OS hard drives until Windows installation has finished. Is that not necessary with a reset?

Also, is there...

Right, thanks Kari. That's what I've done in the past and want to avoid because my Users folders just get too large. Is there another option so move the Users folder that doesn't create that issue?

I think this is the method I've used to move my Users folder for my last several builds. My computer is acting up and I probably need to do a clean install. Using this method to move the Users...

I did a repair install but I'm still experiencing the Shell Infrastructure Host issue that eventually makes Start and Taskbar unresponsive. I did the Refresh option. Is it worth trying the Reset...

So for my account it's still working fine, but the other user login is in the same situation I was in with no icons on taskbar and unresponsive Start button. Pretty maddening!

Does it even make sense that killing that process would reset taskbar and Start? It was just a random dart throw on my part.

LOL. Even that other account went bad. Was having trouble figuring out how to even open settings and create a new user without the Start menu or taskbar. Had Task Manager open and noticed Shell...

I did the repair install and it didn't make a difference- taskbar icons are still missing. The Start menu button has stopped working as well- clicking it does nothing.

Weird thing is, it's only...

I went through that tutorial and it didn't change anything. Even after I run the volume bat file, it still shows disabled.

After last restart the State menu was unresponsive...

I tried both of those and neither did anything. Tried some of your other related tutorials as well. Don't know if I mentioned that even open applications don't show in the taskbar. I can turn the...

Hey Brink! Thanks for responding so quickly. FYI, I've followed the various windowsforums over the years and remember you always being helpful in years past. So thanks for what you're doing here. ...

Is Start Menu Troubleshooter still available? I've got the problem where icons are missing from the taskbar but otherwise the system seems fine. I've run /sfc scannow but it's unable to fix the...

That is a one-time change- click on search, click find results in app; but the next time you go to search for something you'll have to do the same extra step or photo results will show. I want to...

That is the search I was referring to and I meant a way to disable picture results completely. So if I start typing a search, pictures don't show above the search bar.

I used Classic Shell with...

Is there any way to adjust what is shown in the search results? I don't like photos popping up when I'm just trying to open a program.
