Microsoft: How to Fix Recent Windows 10 Problems

There are lots and lots of complaints about recent problems with Windows 10. I mention three of the most common:

1) The Start button does not work by left-clicking. Only right-clicking works, as in Windows 8.1 it was supposed to upgrade.

2) The Search (Cortana) button does not open at all.

3) The Notifications button does not open at all.

In response to all the complains, Microsoft tech support guys offered one or all of the following nerve-wrecking procedures:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow

powershell

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

The users responded back that those procedures DID NOT FIX the serious problems with Windows 10. Therefore, Microsoft must try to replicate the problems with their own PCs.

If Microsoft tech support can’t find users in the neighborhood willing to allow technicians look at a real-life Win10 problem PC, them techies can replicate the problems.

1) Get a couple of PCs, desktops and laptops, and upgrade to Windows 10.
It appears that the upgrade is a flawless process in all cases reported here.

2) After the upgrade completed successfully, reboot the computer. Check especially the Start, Search (Cortana), and Notification buttons. Click to see that they open properly. Everything works fine the first day or two as reported by all complainants of these Windows 10 issues.

3) After a day or two, do a full disk cleanup (in This Computer, right-click C:, Properties or from Administrative Tools). Delete every file presented by the Windows dialog box.

4) Reboot the PC. Check again the buttons mentioned at 2). Chances are, everything will work OK after the reboot.

5) Turn the PC off. Turn it on again the following day. That’s when the Windows 10 problems strike — as reported by most complainants. That’s when it happened to my desktop.

6) A few more details in my case. After the disk cleaning, my laptop showed the same flawed behavior. The three buttons I mentioned above did NOT work anymore. I returned working to my desktop. I returned to my laptop in about half an hour. To my pleasant surprise, Windows 10 worked OK on my laptop. The three “nasty” buttons functioned properly, as they should!

Something else I did on my desktop. I used a utility named Ashampoo WinOptimizer. I trusted it, the only computer utility I was left to trust. It never caused a problem, be it Windows XP, Win 7, Win 8. This time, however, something happened in Windows 10. I am not sure if Ashampoo is the culprit. Many complainants here did NOT clean up their PCs or use any computer utility.

AN UPDATE FOR WINDOWS 10 IS IN TALL ORDER. IT CAN ONLY COME FROM MICROSOFT AND IT MUST COME UP SOON.
