    Win 10 start menu will not open and calender will not open

    With my start menu down I am not sure how to find the store. I found it in add/remove programs and it appears to be grayed out. I tried to lunch it and there is an issue. It's giving me a message to reinstall it.

    Win 10 start menu will not open and calender will not open

    This is not a Windows 10 upgrade. I don't believe that I have disabled driver updates. Yes, I ran the sfc /scannow yesterday and again just a bit ago. It said that it made the repairs but nothing has changed. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. For...

    Win 10 start menu will not open and calender will not open

    Neither will open. I have executed a system restore to previous dates twice and it works. Then I believe that windows installs an update or something happens and it reverts back. I've read online that this is a consistent problem with Windows 10 (running 64 bit). I'm so sick of this OS.

    MS Office Pro 2016 Excel prompts for repair every so often

    I haven't. The error is so sporadic I never know when it will occur. I could boot it up in safe mode 10 times and might not see it.

    Solved Could anyone recommend a free registry repair/cleaner program?

    I ran Avast for the first time not long ago. It said that I have a bunch of broken registry items etc. I know this can be a selling tactic as they want you to purchase premium etc. I just thought it would be nice if there was a program that could tighten the registry.

    Solved Microsoft Photos took a dump and can't reinstall

    You won't let that comment go will you? :LOL: I am not a computer guru like you folks but I know my way around them pretty well. I have been on PC's for 30+ years now. I have also repaired and update many including laptops with some basic hardware. In my opinion Microsoft operating systems...

    Solved Microsoft Photos took a dump and can't reinstall

    sfc/scannow didn't seem to do anything. I preformed another system restore to an older date. Now MS Photos is working again. I had to reinstall avast due to the restore date being before it's orginal install. So far all is well.

    MS Office Pro 2016 Excel prompts for repair every so often

    You may be on to something. When I load up Excel I did notice that it says "running in compatibility mode". The interesting thing is was running this for over a year before the error started to pop up. I tried what the link instructed and it said it couldn't find the program? Weird.
