Apps won't start after Anniversary 'update'

[theVenerable]

Hi
If I go to my notifications, and press for example,an email, nothing happens.
Also if I press the windows symbol and try to open apps, that way, nothing happens also.
No twitter, no emails, no line etc etc.
This update is broken. It took me ages to install it from various issues.
Now I can hardly use it.

Please help

It didn't work.
You have to add another account to the pc, but I can't due to the apps and links in my task bar not working.

Thanks for ruining my week microsoft. AGAIN

Is it easy to do a fresh install?
I can't even tell you how much of my time has been wasted by windows 10.
Isn't it supposed to be USABLE and PRODUCTIVE?
I spend half my time dancing around glitches.

I can try a fresh install, but how?
I got this computer second hand, it was upgraded from window 8.1 to ten.
I have no product key.

How to download and install a fresh portion of this fetid junk?
I have no choice, as i need it for my dx11 games.
Otherwise id go back to the stable windows 7

Thanks

How to download and install a fresh portion of this fetid junk?

You can download the ISO from here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sof...459594)(TnL5HPStwNw-WaTVja5C7z2Vs7q82apCPg)()

Choose Windows 10, the first item in the first drop down (not single language at the bottom) * see note at bottom.
Next choose your language and your bit version (32 or 64 bit to match your system architecture or in the case of an upgrade, to match your currently installed version of Windows).
That will provide an ISO that will boot, upgrade, repair (or clean install) either or both Windows 10 Pro and Home.
*NOTE: In some cases, we've learned that some people have the "Single Language" version installed. In which case you would need that download. It's important that you match the ISO version that you download with your installation.

Once you have downloaded the ISO you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
OR
Rufus to burn it to a USB ThumbDrive http://rufus.akeo.ie/
To create installation media
When you've created the installation media then you can boot from that to perform a clean / custom install

I have no product key.

IF you've had Windows 10 installed and activated, you will not need a product key. Microsoft already knows that, that machine is a Windows 10 machine.
IF you are prompted for a product key during the clean custom install, simply choose "I don't have" or "Skip".
