My wife has a HP laptop that I recently had to re-install Windows 10 due to a booting issue. All seems fine, got an issue corrected with the hourglass flashing next to the the Mouse pointer AND taking a LONG time to open context menu on right click such as pictures and CMD prompt.
Now I notice that her Action Center, in the lower far right end of the taskbar does not open when you click on it, nor will it open when you right click and choose Open Action Center.
Along with that I went into PC Settings (I have classic shell) and choose "Accounts" and in there wen to "Famiy &N other users" to add a new person to her PC. I click on 'Add someone else to this PC" and it flashes briefly, but no pop up comes up like it does on my same setting.
We are both running Windows 10 ver 22H2 , Both have 32gb Ram.
I wen to add another user as that was one suggestion I saw in a search for this issue, but could not add a new person. I was going to name it Administrator Other suggestion was to go into C:\Users\Pamela\app-data\Microsoft\Windows\ and rename the UsrClas.dat to UsrClass_old.dat Could not do that so booted into her comptuer with a NVMe drive that has my OS on it to boot up and then used explorer to find that UsrClass.dat and renamed it that way. Before it was in use so could not rename it when I was logged in as "Pamela" when it booted normally.
I've tried some things that have not worked, and want to get your ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.
BTW, Updates are done and her PC is Fully updated and activated as well.
I also tried this in an elevated Power Shell cmd Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }
Which errored out.
I have also tried this in elevated CMD prompt:
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
None of this has worked.
