Having trouble finding the Tools menu on Windows 10

Last week I switched to Windows 10. I can't find the tools menu. I've checked settings and other areas I've thought of and not having any luck. I need to look over a few things but they all seem to be included in the tools section. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello,

Press Windows Key + R, type explorer shell:::{D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153} in Run and click OK. It will open the folder of administrative tools available in Windows 10.

Hope this helps, Good luck :)

    Hello,

    Having the same issue here; after following your instructions and successfully opening up the admin tools...where do you go from this point? - to enable the original "tools", "file", ect. menus- that would normally appear when you open up your browser??

    Thank you for any help.

    I did the following and said I needed an app for this, I'm thinking "oh God please help another app," so I went ahead with that then it said that explorer shell did not exist. REALLY!!!!! why not just a straight answer for a simple question. As far as being helpful, sure to get this far at least..............

    Hi,

    The Windows Key is located at the bottom left of your keyboard, between Ctrl and Alt.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
