Put that in a command prompt

I am confused, when I go to press the windows key on my keyboard or go down to my taskbar to click on it, nothing happens. I've tried everything I can think of. Anyone else experience this issue?

This is a super basic possible fix:

 

Try RESTARTING (shutting down doesn't count due to how Win 10 & 8 are setup...)

In case it hadn't occurred to try.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

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

Put that in a command prompt

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I also recommend running /sfc scannow which will look for corrupt files

Tried that a few days ago when I tried to combat this issue by googling. Didn't come up with anything
