Start and Start apps don't work after System Restore

Hey guys, I tried to install Andy (Android emulator) on my PC today and I had to reboot after the setup was complete. This time when booting up, my computer froze before login screen. I've restarted the computer several times, but no login screen.
So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old) and voila, everything works like it should...
Except for Start menu, Cortana & search bar and notifications. Restarting explorer.exe didn't fix the problem. Even Start menu apps like Music or Store don't work... Only way to open the Settings app is to click on my network connection icon. Help please!
I'm using build 9926

..............So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old)...............
It is possible that you are missing the updates that were installed in that 2 days. You rolled back 2 days, now you need to reinstall those updates.
If you cannot use Start Menu, please follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes or Confirm
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.

All apps don't work after backup restore

My iphone 4 got stolen last week and so I bought a new iphone 4.
Installed a bunch of apps when I got it. Then I plugged it into my laptop and itunes asked if I wanted to restore from back up (of my original iphone 4) or activate as new phone.
I clicked restore from back up original iphone 4. Then after it loaded & did everything, I unplugged my iphone and none of my apps or email work anymore.
When I click on any of my apps, it opens for 1 sec and then closes, returning back to the home page.
For email I tried to go on 'add new account' and re-enter details, it does not work. Nothing happens when I enter the details. It doesn't register my new account.
Please help?? What should I do?

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
Please Help.....

What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

Your bookmarks file may be corrupt. Navigate to /[UserName]/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_name]. Either rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.corrupt (or whatever) in case this isn't the problem, or delete places.sqlite. Start/Restart Firefox.

Itunes not working after system restore

hey i searched this and found nothing helpful.
i did a system restore before and now my itunes won't open. it shows a message that tells me it can't open. i've reinstalled and uninstalled and everything i can think of...
how can i fix this and make itunes work again?

If you have an HP, you need to goto Hp.com and download a patch for your model of PC, alot of there PCs have issues with iTUnes after using there software to do a restore. If you have another brand, check there site.
You can also try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, disabling antivirus and downloading/installing the latest iTunes from apple.com

Chromium doesn't start and suspend, shutdown don't work occassionally

Hello,
I have this problem on my laptop but since chromium doesn't start on my desktop either, I don't think it's specific to laptops.
When I try to start chromium in a terminal, I get a blank window (I can tell because I use spectrwm):
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
[25148:25148:0215/130205:ERROR:background_mode_manager_aura.cc(14)] Not implemented reached in virtual void BackgroundModeManager::EnableLaunchOnStartup(bool)
I temporarily resorted to using Firefox instead, but at times it just freezes up while opening some pages. After that point, even killing firefox doesn't help: the system load level keeps on rising. I used pidof to check if firefox is still running, but I had no output from pidof. After having firefox to freeze, shutdown, suspend, etc don't work. The laptop goes to a black screen state, but the power LED remains on indefinitely.
These might be two separate issues, but they started together on my laptop.
Thanks in advance!

It started happening after upgrade:
[2015-02-15 09:43] [ALPM] upgraded chromium (40.0.2214.94-1 -> 40.0.2214.111-1)
I was wondering if it has anything to do with some X-related upgrades:
[2015-02-15 09:42] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:43] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:48] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server-devel (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:45] [ALPM] upgraded nvidia (346.35-5 -> 346.35-6)
I tried to downgrade chromimu to 40.0.2214.94-1 and it didn't help. I tried to downgrade nvidia, xorg-server and xorg-server-devel to previous versions, when everything worked and X chouldn't start.
Other observations are that if I start chromium, the ps command hangs and I have to reboot the system to be able to use ps command again.

Satellite U500-1F5: eco and FN buttons don't work after BIOS update

Hi everyone,
I hope i can find a solution for my problems in here.
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite U500 (PSU9ME),
I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.
Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and i did it. since then i noticed the following problems:
1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
BUT
didnt solve any of my prob
still eco utility is not working. The msg (unsupported BIOS), appear when i run the update.
The function buttons bar on the top of the screen not working ( even after i uninstall the toshiba value package and re-install the latest one) and the touch back lock/unlock button also is not working.
I hope Toshiba can find me a solution, coz I dont have the time to go the service center

Thanx in advance

Hello
At first just one comment:
*I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

Few apps don't work after Anna update

I got a new N8 recently (my last one was stolen, insurance covered most of it though) but with the same product code and everything. Of corse, it didn't come with Anna pre-installed (it actually came with PR1.0 and I remembered how horrible the phone used to be). However, I updated to Anna with Ovi Suite without problems but I had a few weird experiences with the additional 1/2 and 2/2, for instance, when the phone found these updates it said that they were about 30-40 kB which obviously is wrong, and it took a while to install them. Then later I got them both again but this time they had the right size. 1/2 installed without problems but I had to try with 2/2 several times before it (")worked(").
Anyways, some apps like fMobi (pay-version) and the swedish app for public transportation don't work anymore. Don't know if they did on my last N8 after update. The additional updates were supposed to fix some non-working apps but it certainly isn't that way with my N8...advice please?

Just to point out that the fMobi stopped working in my N8 too after the update.
Uninstalled and reinstalled no end.
But I found that if you go to the fMobi facebook page, he say's that wiith the new controls put in by facebook, it has somehow messed up the App. Check his page out and see what he says.

On screen display and FN+ buttons don't work after format

I formatted my entire HDD and re-installed windows 7 pro. After doing the format and re-install the on screen display doesn't show up when I adjust volume or enable/disable caps lock like it did previously before I re-installed. I've installed the hotkey driver, on screen display, display interface driver, ran the Lenovo update utility several times, installed all windows updates. Is there somewhere where I have to enable OSD (on screen display)? I am sure this is just something small that I am overlooking but if anyone has any help please let me know! sorry if this has been posted already, I tried searching before making a post but didn't have any luck.
