HI I had an upgrade who messed up pretty good my win 10, does someone knows a software who can call windows components like control panel and others windows settings. Every Start menu functionality is dead, just an icon, no taskbars icons, no notification area, no date volume icon etc ... all went dark. I did have yesterday a problem with the volume, it wasn't working properly, had to control it with my keyboard media control. I cant even call a cmd prompt ??? Anyone had or have this problem ?? I cant reformat until i backed up my pc
hold windows key and tap X command as admin or ctrl alt del task manager file new task CMD try chkdsk /f dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannow if that dont work.. F8 and do reset without loosing files.
The "SW" is called win+r, then execute whatever you want. Then install classic shell so you can start using windows until you fix it the problem (to be honest Classic Shell is not a workaround, is just a better start menu). Then the first thing you have to do is to make another account to see if the problem affects only your current user (which is very likely)
