My Start Menu Can't Open And The Wifi Icon On Taskbar Won't Open Too by finnestdope(m): 8:14pm On Sep 12, 2020
Hello community, I had to reinstall Windows 10 Pro and activated it too. Everything was working fine at the time (after the installation).

But I just restarted the computer only to notice that my start menu won't open and the wifi icon on the taskbar won't open too.

How can fix this please?

Also, when I click the search icon, it doesn't show me a cursor to start typing. However, all these were working after I installed the OS - what could have made them stop? I haven't customized the PC yet.

Furthermore, I can't log in to my Microsoft account to use as my admin account on the computer, Powershell also won't load (tells me I should contact the administrator, (meanwhile it's just one account on the PC at the moment)) - there seems to be just a lot of things I can't access/open. Please I need help - did I get the fake Windows 10?

Here we go again
I think it is an issue with most recent win 10 pro users as i had same problem last month. The only thing i can suggest is that you open another account with admin options, install malewarebyte(it can clean cracks) Or you re-install a fresh windows (same\exact version)

I can't even create another account, I think all these Windows 10 Pro sold in the market are either corrupted or some null version of the original one. It's annoying! Even my taskbar is misbehaving.

I'm thinking to downgrade to 8.1

just incase you still want to retain your files, try the 2nd option.

I had same problem 3 months ago, couldn't find any working solution. I just had to reset windows. All your personal files will still be intact. Only Applications will be erased.

Okay, did everything started working again after the reset? and was Windows still activated or deactivated?

You probably have restore point created when updating it to windows 10.i think restoring it to older windows will solve the problem. Otherwise it's a hardware issue
