If you've installed Windows 10 Build 9926 and find that some apps work and some apps don't, the fix could be as easy as registering the apps. In particular, some early testers have found that apps like Cortana, the beta Store, and others either won't launch at all, or start to launch but hang on the app's splash screen.

• Windows 10's Your Phone app is a nifty tool to access your smartphone remotely, but you may encounter connectivity issues often. Here's how you can fix them.
• Dec 14, 2018 - Settings app won't launch in Windows 10. This article guides you to resolve a problem where the Windows 10 Settings application does not.

My son ran to me panicked that the Internet is down, everything's down. He's desperate because he can't play his precious Fortnite.I go in prepared to reboot and shine my IT magic wand - 'Solved!'

But it turns out that he's right. There's something wrong.

Reboot didn't help. I can't even open any settings. I get an error message that there's no program to open the file or absolutely nothing happens. Even the search bar doesn't work.Apparently, this is a common problem with Windows 10. I found a thread on MS support boards with a PS script to reregister the Settings App. I'm currently running it. It's taking a while stuck on 'Processing'.

I hope it works.My question is, how did this happen? How does such a basic system app stop working? Is it user error?

Windows Update gone wrong? Something else?Update: PS was stuck on 'Processing' with no end, so finally I shut it down. Had to force it. It looks like I have some more serious problems going on. More troubleshooting tomorrow. I'll appreciate some tips.Edited Sep 10, 2018 at 03:58 UTC. Kamiccola wrote:You guys might be onto something.

Like in, it looks like people advertise their malware on YouTubeas Fortnite hacks.Sigh.Of course, my kid swears he didn't download anything but I imagine, if he saw a button that said 'Click here for free v-bucks,' he'd click on it.Yeah my son fell for this on Roblox a couple years ago. It's frustrating, because the temptation to 'get stuff' without asking the parent for $ is there. So yeah my first thought was 'malware'.Offline scan is safest. I posted instructions on that for using defender to do it.

On 10 its a solid AV solution. I'm back home. Time to troubleshoot. I think a clean install is the best option. We can just download his precious Fortnite plus the other game(s) later.

He claims he remembers his passwords. We'll see.Here's steps of what I'm doing and what's happening.1. Removed the WiFi dongle before booting up to ensure that malware wouldn't try to connect.2. Windows Defender Security Center is about the only thing that works. I accessed it from the task bar.3. Chose the Fresh Start option for a clean installation of Windows. Apps will be removed.

My only concern is that there is an app that came preinstalled that's supposed to work with the graphics card. I don't know if I'll have to hunt for that later or if it will work properly without it. It took at least 2 hours to complete.5. Everything works! There's a long list of apps that were removed. I'm going to have to go through them to find out what is really needed.

I'm curious if the malware is on that list. None of them look suspicious just by name and developer alone.

More research is needed.6. Ran a Windows update to get the latest definitions.I'm going to do my own research but do you know of any good resources with an easy explanation of malware - suitable for children? My son is 10, he's smart but his attention span lasts about 1 minute so a video would probably be best.Edited Sep 11, 2018 at 04:27 UTC.

You might want to try out Microsoft Family Safety for controls over bad content, and Windows Defender has an extension for Chrome now as well.Thank you for your help but I don't know if the offline scan was the best option. It might have found the malware and answered the riddle of what was causing the issue but if you read the documentation, they strongly advise the AV to be updated and without an internet connection, I couldn't do it.

I surmise the problem is you need to make sure you have the correct 357revolver.nif mesh.what likely happened when they retextured it the 'load order' in the model itself changed and thus the data fields the esp uses when static 1st person data is entered it will apply the texture in the esp to the model file it has which could be incorrect.finding where everything is, is the tricky part. Try reinstalling the mesh files and make sure you have the correct esp. Probably in the static 1st person data fields. Fallout new vegas .357 magnum long barrel.

Hell, I don't know if I would've been able to even run Windows Defender at all.In any case, as curious as I am as to what caused the issue, I didn't want to risk Defender missing some files that malware could use to reinstall itself. I'd rather deal with redownloading all the apps after a clean install than take a shortcut and wonder if something malicious was left behind.Also worth mentioning, after running a troubleshooter, Windows recommended that I do a clean install.For bad content, I use OpenDNS as a basic filtering - it's mostly aimed at porn and known malicious IPs. I'm going to see what else I can use to lock down this PC along with some thorough user training. I used to have Kaspersky on all devices but after all the bad rap, I didn't renew. I think it's time for a new solution.
