Windows 10 Taskbar, internet and OneDrive don't work

[Gharzhogh]

Good day, community!
One day I tried Groove to find my music and assigned it to search on :C, which gave me over 7k titles. So when I tried to change where it should search again, nothing happened, after which I decided to restart the pc to see if anything has changed. It has indeed. After the restart, all the new app icons failed to show on the taskbar, cortana and the start menu don't start and the icons on the right like language or volume are unclickable. Also, neither Edge, ie, nor chrome will start up, whereas the internet works just fine, as I checked by playing a game of League of Legends. All the old programs like office or Skype seem to work, too. I tried everything I could find on the web, like numerous cmd commands and changing some options. Can't get into the new options app, though. My only possibility of running programs are the win+r combination and Windows explorer. Additionally, I now have to have admin rights to do literally everything, even creating a new folder on the desktop. Please help me, as the only thing I can think of now, is downgrading, which probably won't work either, since the options app doesn't work. Thanks for your time!

It seems like your Windows 10 system is facing critical issues, especially with the taskbar, Start menu, and certain apps not functioning correctly. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve these issues:

1. System File Checker:​

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Type the following command and press Enter: sfc /scannow
• This will scan your system files for integrity violations and attempt to repair them.

2. Reset the Windows Store Cache:​

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Run the following command: wsreset.exe
• This resets the Windows Store cache.

3. Run Windows Update:​

• Check for any pending updates and install them. This might include important fixes that could resolve system issues.

  4. Create a New User Account:​

• Try creating a new user account to see if the issues persist there. This can help determine if the problems are user-specific.

  5. Perform a System Restore:​

• If the issues started recently, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a point before the problems began.

  6. Windows 10 Repair Upgrade:​

• Download the Windows 10 media creation tool from the official Microsoft website and perform a repair upgrade by running the setup from within your current Windows environment. If none of these steps resolve the issues, you may indeed need to consider more drastic actions like a clean install or seeking assistance from Microsoft support or a local technician.
