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?

    Try disconnecting from the internet before starting the Upgrade over.

    Look over this tutorial for a gold standard Clean Install which compiles the best possible Install of Windows which will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given, has zero reported problems, and is better than any amount of money could buy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

    Note that the driver steps are so important they are printed in red.

    The reason I suggest this install is that no one of millions who has done it has ever come back to report further problems I've seen, including another version failure. This is because everything in Windows 10 is dependent upon the quality of the install, especially Version Updates which will choke on lesser quality installs, and there is no possibility of problems if you stick ONLY with the steps, tools and methods in that tutorial.

    It is also one of life's great learning experiences that will permanently make you the master of your PC because you will learn everything that works best and how to keep it that way.

    Hi Greg,

    The Repair Install fails.

    In installing up to about 56%, a Windows blue screen comes out, error message of something like "kernel check failure" appears for 3 seconds. Then the system go back to previous start up.

    Should I try the Repair Install once again?

    Let me know how it goes. I'll be here a little while longer, then back in the late morning PST.

    I got it, thanks.

    ISO file created in harddisk, will go ahead for Repair Install.

    It's best to download the ISO or create the bootable media because otherwise it runs the Installation Assistant which can be buggy.

    If you just download the ISO, double click to mount it, right click Setup to Run as Administrator.

    If you make the bootable media, open it in Explorer, right click Setup to Run as Admin.

    Follow the prompts.
