Windows 10 - invalid value for registry

I'm having a big time issue in Windows10, build 10041.

Nothing works. Icons of Windows related things get "invisible".

Here's some screenshots:

When clicking Cortana, this happens: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...204e7e148/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.29.18_pm.png. She doesn't open.

When clicking the start menu: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...0c8c15b95/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.29.58_pm.png. It only gets highlighted on mouse over. Doesn't work. Right clicking it though, work with the menu as expected.

Store button: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...b9755e58d/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.31.04_pm.png. Looks invisible. Clicking it, gives this: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...494955b73/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.32.02_pm.png. Same thing for calculator. No modern apps work!

Onedrive: attempting to start it gives this: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...5e84cf7ea/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.33.08_pm.png. Attempting to debug it: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...4b998194c/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.33.36_pm.png. Opening VS: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...0ebab06f7/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.34.10_pm.png. Result: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...e3edf4358/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.34.43_pm.png

Trying scannow: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazo...4e96b0ae6/upload_2015-03-27_at_2.35.33_pm.png

Help!

Cheers,

Re: Windows 10 - invalid value for registry

microsoft recently added fix for task view try installing that
as for cortana try changing region to US and language to English US and reboot
as for the start menu you can try this

Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard.
Key in PowerShell and hit Enter.
Right click on the PowerShell icon on the taskbar and select Run as Administrator.
Now paste the following command in the Administrator: Windows PowerShell window and press Enter key:

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

Wait for PowerShell to execute and complete the command. Ignore the few errors (in red color) that may pop up.
When it finishes, try hitting Start and hopefully it?ll start working. If not, this solution won?t apply to you, unfortunately.

I had the same problem and followed many suggestions of how to fix it. Finally, I got my friend who is a DBA of a big company in my area to help fix this problem. He used WiseCleaner (FREE software) to fix my registry. My PC is working GREAT now. I am very happy! :smile:
