Clean install the OS.

This is a bit silly but did you restart? (That's what fixed it for me)

hi,
I have the same issue. I tried a powershell script but that didn't fix it. I did get it to work again by activating the admin account then making a new user account. But one week later the same problem arose. I can't click start, search or any windows app...

help!

In that case it's better if you do a fresh install.

In my case,it was gone after a fresh install

There is a app to find your product key and it could* be tied with your email address,I would suggest making a thread on that or ask someone else.

I haven't kept up with the recent changes on windows 10,so don't want to give any wrong information.

 

In my case all I did was flush my partition during the installation process and install windows, skipping the product key I entered my email initially when they asked for it during the first boot.I was verified after that (I upgraded my key is probably* tied to my email)

I don't think you need a fresh install, just create a new profile.

 

Even if you did a fresh install, if your current windows 10 is already activated you don't even need to put in your product key as it will activate automatically (unless you change too many hardware components)
