My windows 10 taskbar recieved a couple of problems since a couple weeks now. I think it started after some update.

  1. All my shortcuts can not be clicked with mouse right click. Nothing happens.
  2. I cannot click on the clock to view my calendar with left click.
  3. I can't open my notifications with left click.

Check out the screenshot. enter image description here

I can't find a fix for this. Anyone knows how to do it and what is going on? Thanks!

  • Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. Run (1) dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth . Then (2) SFC /SCANNOW . Allow to complete, restart and test. This initial Windows 10 repair often works.

  • @John What does it repair? May the command have some other implications? Sep 9, 2020 at 22:14
  • It repairs local files that may have been damaged. DISM is not a Repair Install. DISM is the first thing to try. After the DISM sequence above, and if that fails, run a Windows 10 Repair Install from the Microsoft Media Creation link.

  • It appears you have a Start Menu replacement installed? Is that indeed the case?

It is working again after following the fix suggested in the following link Microsoft Answers. The powershell command that fixed it was:

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