New User in Family - Taskbar Doesn't Work
I added my adult son to my family on the PC. I put him as an administrator. When I log on with his credentials, the system's taskbar does not work. Cortana is also missing.
All I see in the taskbar's left side is a white windows icon, a magnifying glass, and the task mode icon. Nothing happens when I click them. On the right (wi-fi, sound, keyboard, time and date, and notifications), everything is unresponsive as well.
I tried every solution I could find on the web such as restarting windows explorer, running the file check, and using powershell to reinstall Windows apps. None of these solutions worked. Any other suggestions?
I started all this just so I could watch his purchased movies from XBOX One on my PC. And now I've spent like 4 hours trying to get the stupid operating system to work when I'm signed in as him. My user account still works perfect. It's just the new one I made for him that is screwed up. Hopefully someone here knows what I can do to fix it. If all else fails, can I take him off as a user without taking him out of my family and then put him back on?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I'll check back tonight after work.
