    I have had windows 10 since build 9926 in early February of this year. I used build 10074 which was great and I had no problems with it. Once my computer auto updated to build 10130 and beyond I haven't been able to open any metro apps, right clicking for information on an icon or file, opening Cortana, using the start menu, and accessing metro apps is impossible. I also have an issue with Windows Explorer which freezes up often, and sometimes takes forever to load. Can somebody help me explain what's going on and help me find a way to fix it without having to reinstall and lose all of my files and programs? I am currently running build 10159. Another thing that might be helpful to note is that metro apps work on any other account except for my primary account.

    Thanks!

    I would start by running a system file check

    Please run a system file check (SFC) & DISM (if necessary) if you are on win 8 or higher

    All instructions are in our Wiki article below...
    Should you have any questions please ask us.

    It told me it didn't support my version of windows? Do you know of any other things that might help?

    Thanks!

    Did you run SFC & DISM?  What were the results?

    That seems to indicate your "primary" account is corrupted.

    Create another user account with exactly the same privileges as your primary account > logon to it > see if everything is working.
    If yes, then my assumption is confirmed.

    If that proves to be the case, backup whatever you want to keep and delete the corrupted account.
