If I open start menu and type something, nothing happens, as if I was not pressing any keys. My mouse becomes the spinner though as if it's thinking. If I turn the search box on and try and type in it, it goes unfocused as if it crashed and rebooted.
Trying to open settings any way results in it popping up, then closing immediately. I got a really cryptic error at one point that made it sound like the settings menu wasn't installed. No idea what I did to get the error, can't reproduce.
I tried running:
"Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}"
But it threw a lot of errors saying that the package could not be registered.
running "sfc /scannow" as admin returns:
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
The search functionality briefly returned earlier today, but after restarting my computer to install a windows update, it has ceased functioning.
