Cannot open Start menu or use search on Windows 10 Build 10586.36

Been trying to solve this for a while now. I can click on the buttons, but nothing happens. What I've tried so far: - Doing /sfc scannow in powershell (detected corrupted files but could not fix them) - Doing /sfc scannow in a CMD at boot (same error) - Did the appmanifest command thing in powershell, I was not aware it had been broken, so it fucked up my Windows Store/apps and did not fix my issue - Created a new user account, Start menu works fine on there but I would like to fix my current account if possible - Restarted four times - Ran "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" in command prompt, stayed at 20% for a while and then went to 100%, giving me an error and not doing anything - Restarted Windows Explorer My specs: [URL="https://i.imgur.com/IoTZZcA.png"]http://i.imgur.com/IoTZZcA.png[/URL] I have scanned my computer with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, nothing came up. I have not installed anything recently aside from an update to paint.net. Tried starting in safe mode, Start still doesn't work. Tried everything in this thread short of resetting Windows to no avail: [URL]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1496460[/URL]

You need to reinstall all the windows 10 app shit Has happened to me 3 times so far I'll grab the command, hold pls [editline]2nd January 2016[/editline] Run powershell as an administrator Execute this command: [code]Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"[/code] [editline]2nd January 2016[/editline] Ahh, I see you've already tried that...that's what fixed this issue for me, sorry mate

Yeeeah, apparently that command was recently broken in a Windows 10 update and it now fucks up all your Windows apps, including the store. As in, they become unusable. So now I have [I]that[/I] issue on my hands, as well. However, what I'm most concerned with is the start menu.

The last time I had this, my only fix was to completely obliterate all of Windows' partitions and start fresh. Even using the built in recovery didn't work.

AppPackage didn't work for me. The way I fixed it was migrating to another user.
