All windows 10 apps/start menu not working since system recovery

recently I had to use system recovery on my computer, after which all the windows 10 "apps" stopped working:

  • pressing the home/search/action center buttons on the taskbar does nothing, the windows key on the keyboard does nothing too.
  • right clicking on the home button doesn't work either.
  • can't open settings or any of its derivative functions either (such as the win10 variant of "uninstall or change program"), the keyboard shortcut 'win' + 'I' does nothing either (but 'win' + 'R' works fine).
  • Control Panel and all of the win7 features work fine though.
  • can't open windows store app either.
  • trying to open Microsoft Edge, Media Player or Photo Viewer apps returns a "Class not registered" error.
  • when trying to open anything in fullscreen mode (such as videos, Internet pages or games) the taskbar will always stay on top.


I have already tried resetting explorer.exe, found no errors with "sfc /scannow" in powershell, ran "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" "CheckHealth" & "RestoreHealth", and used "Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + "\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml")}" to no avail.


I'd try to update windows, but with no access to the settings I'm not sure how I can do that.

is there any way I can solve this?
