Hello Damjan,

Thank you for updating me with that information. I apologize that the above methods did not resolve the issue. What is your current Windows version and edition? Press Start then click Settings(Gear icon), select System then About.

It seems you're not in the latest version of Windows 10.

Kind regards,

Hi

Thank you for your help but this didn't help, I already tried this and alot more and didn't worked.

So I finally install fresh win10, now after a week I have the same problem. I never had that much problems with any other windows OS like now with win10, it is the worse OS ever created. Start menu doesn't work, copy, paste doesn't work, task scheduler doesn't work.... And I really don't want to reinstall win10 every week, because I loose start menu and copy paste option....I also tried with repair USB stick and when it boot up, I tried repair windows but than I had no option after that. So the only option is to install win 10 again and install one by one software each day, which will take me about 2 months to find out which one cause a problem. I also disabled all apps to startup at boot, I leave only MS in msconfig, but still the same.
