bottom right icons not working

All those icons in the bottom right of the taskbar do not work, no response despite left clicks on those icons. These include the volume, network, clock and notifications icons. The Action Center cannot be called out as well. However, those hidden icons under the "Up Arrow" work properly.

My desktop is running on Windows 10 Home version 21H2, the latest Windows update was just run yesterday.

The followings have been tried with no improvement:

a) System File Checker - sfc /scannow

b) DISM tool - CheckHealth, ScanHealth & Restorehealth

c) Powershell command

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

d) Renaming of UsrClass.dat file

e) Restart Windows Explorer

Anything else I can do to solve the problems?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Performance and system failures

    Hi,

    I don't believe DISM checks for Registry corruption. It is safe to delete the key.

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for the suggested tutorial, very informative.

    It seems that the Repair Install starts with the tool Media Creation Tool. I understand that this tool will bring my windows to the latest version, ie Windows 10 Home version 22H2.

    My existing one is still version 21H2 and I hope to keep it.

    Is there anywhere I can download the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 21H2? Or other tool to carry out the Repair Install with my Windows 10 Home version 21H2 reserved?

    Also, any hint for the Bluetooth adaptor problem I mentioned previously please?

    Hi Sumit,

    Thanks for your advice.

    I have already run the following command:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    It returns : "No component store corruption detected."

    I understood from this forum that the above command checks the registry in Windows. In view of its result, should I still suspect a corrupted registry key and delete the "Quick Actions" key by regedit.exe?

    Before a repair install, try it:

    This is usually due to a corrupted registry key. The following may resolve it.

    1. Create a system restore point as a first step.
    2. Press the Win+R keys and type regedit.exe
    3. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions
    4. Right-click the Quick Actions key and choose Delete.
    5. Restart your computer.

    Keep us posted.
