Thanks for the tutorial!
For some of you: Make sure you "restart" and no shut down and reboot. On the final I restarted and it worked

[banerjeesuvronil]

Thank God! It's working after doing 'clean-up' and repair. A lot of thanks to you. I was in dark regarding this, nobody wasn't able to suggest an alternative except format & reboot. Finally, Windows & Cortana working after a long period of time. May God bless you man!!

Thank you so much! Even though this is a 2 year old vid, still fixed my computer and eased my panic attack. Step 5 was the winner, but step 4 might've had something to do with it as well. Thanks again

Started my computer this morning and was experimenting with cortana. The start button and almost everything on the task bar disappeared. I went through this up to running the long command and everything came back after the restart. Saved several days of work re-installing applications. Thank you very much!

Thanks Brian, I wish I had those extra options available before I reset my PC, good to know there is more options. I could not make a new user as the window did not pop up to create one, thats why I formatted.
Great videos thanks again.

1. Open the task manager


2. Scroll down to the "Windows Processes" section

3. In this section find "Windows Explorer"


4. Click in it and select restart.


Worked for me!

Damn thank you!!! I fixed it with this tutorial! I thought I would have to call Microsoft and be hold for 30 minutes. You're awesome. ;)

I watched and completed the steps throughout the different videos and nothing helped! However, your video was a huge success😆. I was so close to throwing my PC out the window, but you saved me. Thanks a bunch!!!

I'm am truly sick and fucking tired of windows 10 bullshit so much shit is breaking

[titinogreen]

Some days ago (I think shortly after Windows 10 1903 Update) my whole Taskbar and Windows menu and settings included Display Settings could not be opened anymore. So I followed your steps till redoing Sfc /scannow and it worked after a restart!!!
Thank you very much Sir!

One other way to fix this error.
1. Start "cmd" with admin.
2. In cmd type
" chkdsk c: /f "
3. type Y in cmd
4. Reboot ur pc
5. Wait until the process is finished
(This takes around 5-10 minutes)
6. Now ur done!

[ranarafiqurrahman]

It worked! My search option was not working for last 3 days! Now my problem was solved after step 5 is completed and reboot. Big thanks.
