Hello, just to let you know, I didn't get as far as reinstalling Windows 10.  I was looking through the list of programs on the PC and noticed one called Windows Essentials 2012.  I clicked on it and it gave me an option to Repair all Windows Essentials programs.  I ran this then restarted and hey presto, the start menu and Action Center are working!!  Do let others know if you think this might be useful.  Many thanks again for your advice.

Repair install from the settings menu

I think it got to about 30%.  I didn't disable the firewall first so I guess I could try that.  I don't have an install disk as the PC came with Windows 8 pre installed and I upgraded to Win 10

Yes and it couldn't complete it. 
Another error message I get is that the Action Center won't open. It appears not to be installed, which is weird because that's not something I've done anything to

No driver updates recently and as far as I know there's only one graphics card. I mostly use the PC for general domestic stuff so haven't added or changed anything for ages.  I first noticed the problem with Start an Action center in October after the Anniversary update.  As I said it works in Safe Mode.  Been trying to find a solution for ages

Tried those steps but no joy.  Problems started after the Windows 10 update last year. One thing I haven't yet tried is creating a new user profile

Hi yes, I manually connected to the Internet in safe mode. It's the start menu and notifications that aren't working in regular mode, but are working in safe mode. Very confusing!

Hi Boggin

Update: I left the PC on and doing its on/off thing and it eventually restarted.  I'm currently running the repairs in safe mode for the second time. Hoping this will sort out the stuck start menu and notifications.  Incidentally both these work in safe mode. I've tried all sorts to get this working again so if your tool doesn't do it, have you any further suggestions?
Many thanks

Hi Boggin

No, I can't get the task manager. I've got Windows 10 home and have been trying to find a fix for the start menu and notifications which disappeared after the update last year.

Good morning

I ran the repairs once in safe mode and when prompted selected to restart the PC.  It didn't boot up properly and I got an error message with the Dell icon stating that registry repairs were taking place. This stayed on screen for about ten minutes before the screen went blank.  I turned off the PC and back on again and it appears that it is trying to start up but can't. It then switches itself off and then on again repeatedly but without starting up.  I can't get into Safe Mode or get it to respond to anything.  I'm at a complete loss and I'm not the most knowledgable about computers - can follow instructions though!  If anyone can help I'd be so grateful.

Many thanks
