right now I am having a few problems with my newly built pc on windows 10. first of all, the start menu is not working. whenever I try to open the start menu or settings it just does nothing. my second problem is that the error “you’ll need a new app to open this ms-wpc link” keeps popping up whenever I log into the computer. I can click on the screen to hide it temporarily but it would come back in 30 seconds or so. to be completely honest I don’t know where to start on either of these problems.
