Hi Ado,

You can follow the below steps to make your start menu work again:
  1. Find C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
  2. Right-click and Run as Administrator
  3. Copy this line: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  4.  Right-click in the Powershell window to Paste and then press Enter.
If this doesn't work for you, you can try the below method as well:

  • Start the Task Manager.
  • Click File -> Run new task.
  • Type "cmd" into the Run dialog, tick Create this task with administrative privileges and click OK.
  • Type the following text and press Enter: net user Admin123 MyPassword /add
  • Type the following text and press Enter: net localgroup Administrators Admin123 /add
  • Log off and login to the new Admin123 account. If it works correctly, you can migrate your data to the new user account. You are welcome to replace "Admin123" with your username of choice. The login password will be "MyPassword". You can easily change it later.
  • Log off
  • Log on on new account and its done.
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh

I updated all of the drivers after doing a backup using your tool. Now only two of 4 USB ports work. Nothing happens when I plug either my mouse or iPhone cable into them. Two still work, two do not. These ports worked prior to using your software. I have since done a RESTORE using your software and they still do not work. Could you please help me resolve this issue? I have a Dell Precision M6600 system if this helps.

On all screenshots I see, it shows the Start Screen on the "Dashboard Tile". But for me, it shows Skype. I also don't understand the difference between the settings "Enabled", "Disabled" and "Dynamic". Only "Hidden" is obvious, and it removes the Skype tile. But the other options don't seem to make any difference...
