Windows 10 Bug, Please help!

[Will Rose]

Hi there,
I have been having a bit of a struggle with windows 10 recently.
Firstly, my start menu doesn't work at all; it used to give me a critical error message but now it just doesn't do anything at all.
Secondly, my search/cortana box doesn't work either, when I click on it it just doesn't do anything.
Then Microsoft edge and the windows app store uninstalled themselves; they just disappeared completely from my computer after logging on one day. I have had a look for a bit around the internet and tried every method I could find, however none of them worked. I read somewhere that creating a new user fixed it however I cannot actually get onto the control panel to create a new user and the admin account built in also doesn't allow me to create a new user.
I am guessing that im gonna have to reset my PC which is annoying but il do it if need be.
Thanks in advance,

if you can access your 'File Explorer' try :
Windows > SysWOW64 > WindowsPowerShell > v1.0 .......
right click on 'powershell_ise.exe' ..... 'Send to' ..... Desktop (Create a Shortcut)
right click the shortcut (Windows PowerShell ISE (x86)) .... select 'run as administrator,

copy & paste into Powershell :

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

after it has run, test your start menu, search/cortana, microsoft edge & app store
(you may need to reboot to re-activate them)

I read somewhere that creating a new user fixed it however I cannot actually get onto the control panel to create a new user and the admin account built in also doesn't allow me to create a new user.

Go to
C:\Windows\System32
Find
Cmd.exe
Right click it and choose run as administrator
At the admin command prompt type
net user JohnSmith /add
hit enter
then type
net localgroup administrators JohnSmith /add
hit enter
type
exit
hit enter
Restart and log in as JohnSmith
