Windows 10 start button or system tray icons are not working

Posted on February 23, 2021 By rich No Comments on Windows 10 start button or system tray icons are not working

Right I had this issue after migrating a system image from a VM to my phsical laptop.

First thing to try is the System File Checker – Run this as admin. If you can’t get CMD open, remember its located at c:WindowsSystem32. You could get here by CTRL+R > Type the location > Hit Enter.

sfc /scannnow

If the outcome says that it could not repair the files, either mount the windows 10 ISO or insert the disc and then run this:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:F:sourcesinstall.wim:1

F = the drive letter the media is mounted to.

Then re-run sfc /scannow

If this failes, run PowerShell in admin mode (can be found at C:Windowssystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0)

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

At this point my start button and system tray started to work again.
