Solution to crash the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10

As we sometimes say, Windows 10 is a newborn system, so we cannot ask for much less the stability that Windows 7 offers us, for example, so we often find some bugs that have an easy solution. We are providing these solutions little by little in Windows News, so that you can get the most out of your Windows 10 device. This time we are going to solve that problem that some users find that Windows 10 Start Menu and Taskbar get stuck, with this simple tutorial.

Sometimes, the Start Menu, Cortana or the Task Bar do not respond in Windows 10 no matter how much we click on it, however, it has an easy solution if we use the command line. We will have to enter a text that will make them restart, thus we will save more complicated tasks to get the same object. So forget about restoring or formatting.

We start with Windows PowerShellTo open it, since we cannot access Cortana or the Start Menu, we will execute «Symbol of the work«, We will write«Powershell»And after pressing«ENTER»Will open automatically. We must take a look at the top of the window to verify that we have administrator permissions. If we do not succeed, we try with the right button of the mouse on "Start" and open "Command Prompt as administrator".

Once inside we introduce the following command line:

GET-APPXPACKAGE -ALLUSERS | FOREACH {ADD-APPXPACKAGE -DISABLEDEVELOPMENTMODE -REGISTER “$ ($ _. INSTALLLOCATION) \ APPXMANIFEST.XML”}

We wait for Windows PowerShell to complete the task, we don't care about the text it returns. Now we see how the Start Menu and the Task Bar have been restarted and are working correctly.

It does not work?

The other alternative is to try to create a new user account on the same computer with Windows 10 and get into it. After entering we restart and see how everything has returned to normal.
