"RUN" and "CONTROL PANEL" Tiles Non-functional
I have setup a HP Stream 13 notebook, and upgraded from Win8 to Win10. Everything worked fine until today when the "RUN" and "CONTROL PANEL" start screen Tiles no longer function; tried 'Run as Administrator' from the pop-up menu with no success. Obviously, something has gone amuck. The Control Panel is a necessity, and I frequently use Run. Hope for some assistance since this notebook is being setup for a 80+year old relative, and trying to prepare it for ease of use. I am 'stalled' at this point. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, confused Stephen
Give this a try ..................... Right click at it > click Command Prompt (Admin) > type powershell > press Enter key.
At the flashing prompt, copy and paste this command line ( to avoid typo it's best to apply Copy/paste method)......
If that does not help, my next suggestion is to do a system file check: Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this....... sfc /scannow
> press Enter. It will take quite sometime. When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing) 1. No integrity violation. 2. Found corrupt files and repair successful. 3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.
If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere. If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved. If the report is #3, use this method................ In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
> press Enter. Again it will take some time. When finished, it will give you a report.
