I have an HP desktop computer running windows 10 which has stopped showing the start menu after automatic updates were installed.

4 Performing Deployment Operations. Application deployment distributes the information created in Chapter 3, 'Configuring Applications for Deployment' to the Administration Server for server-side processing and application startup. Your deployment tool must be able to successfully complete the following deployment operations.

When clicking on the windows logo, or tapping the windows key on the keyboard nothing happens. The corner menus also don't show when I drag the mouse pointer to the edges of the screen.

I'm using a local user account, this PC has no microsoft accounts.

I have tried a few solutions, with no success:

• dism (DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth ; DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth) - reports no issues
• sfc (sfc /scannow) - reports no issues
• deleted c:users<user>AppDataLocalTileDataLayer and rebooted
• re-register apps (Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register '$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml'}) - stalls forever. Actually, running just Get-AppXPackage in powershell does nothing, just hangs, ctrl+c can't kill it.
• create a new local user and login as it. the first login gets stuck forever at 'we're preparing the stuff for you'.
• boot in safe mode, login, and restart
• disabled firewall and antivirus

None of the methods have worked so far. I have also found that launching the settings application via explorer -> computer -> settings will cause explorer to lock up.

I'm really trying to avoid reinstalling windows without at least figuring out what has happened, since this may happen again.

Any change after you end Cortana?

Task manager-->Processes-->Backround Processes-->End Cortana.

To my dismay, after trying all of the solutions posted here and on various forums, the only thing that solved this problem was a full reinstall of windows 10 from Microsoft's installation media.

It seems that something got badly corrupted, it wasn't even possible to do a reset via the recovery console. At some point the PC got into a reboot loop where it failed to boot, then failed to repair itself, then fail to boot, and so on.

Hello,

Imperium Universalis is a full conversion mod for Europa Universalis IV. Europa universalis rome cheats. It is set in the antiquity, start year is 612BC/145AUC. At the moment there are hundreds of playable nations and many others you can release or create through decision.You will have historical, dynamic and random events in the mod, for example weather,slave uprising or olympic games.

For some reason the Start Menu in build 10586.14 won't open any more. If I click on the Start button, nothing happens. The windows store app and Edge icons on the task bar are also not showing up - there is just a blank space in their place.

If I log into a second account on the PC the Start Menu works fine.

I have tried the following things as administrator and nothing works:

1. C:WindowsSystem32WSReset.exe
2. powershell Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
3. Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like '*SystemApps*'} Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register '$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml'}
4. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
5. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
6. sfc /scannow

When I run number 2, this is the reponse.
