*I posted this here because it seems to fall right inline with this tutorial. Let me know if I should post this elsewhere.
I've been following this thread, among others, but I've gotten to the point where I'm scratching my head. Hoping someone here can give me the next steps. This computer is only 1-2 months old, was running fine, then a windows update screwed it up.
Timeline (The Important Steps I've Taken)
-Problem started with a windows update on Thurs Dec 3.
-After the update, Start Menu, Search Bar, Windows Update, Action Bar, Windows Settings, etc stopped working.
-Attempted everything in this tutorial.
*Created new admin user. Same problems.
*SFC scan reported problems but it could not resolve.
*CheckHealth failed to run
*RestoreHealth Online failed.
*RestoreHealth Local, referenced to 'install.wim' within the mounted TechBench Win 10 iso failed.
-Used the setup within the Mounted TechBench Win 10 iso to reinstall Windows 10 (Kept Files)
This is where things got confusing for me. After the in-place refresh, I still have the same original problems BUT:
-SFC reports no problems.
-CheckHealth and ScanHealth report no problems.
-Can't open settings through the Action Center. Using (ms-settings:display) returns "The application cannot be started. Try reinstalling..."
-I again, ran DISM RestoreHealth Local, referenced to the TechBench Win 10 iso. Which is successful, but all the original problems remain.
-SFC still reports no problems.
I have searched for a solution and attempted everything I can find. I cannot access windows update on this computer and I am unsure what to do next.
Ideas?
