Issues with Taskbar....Windows 10 Pro

Folks,

Just wondering if anyone can help with this annoying problem which has recently occurred for me with the Taskbar

Windows Start does not open
Notifications does not open

I have tried a number of fixes garnered from google but to no avail.

Steps 1 and 2 should get you sorted following instructions in this link
Note: I am not recommending any third party installs, if you do - your own risk.

Nothing seems to work and it appears to be a common enough issue. May have to do a rest of windows.

Bottom right hand side uncheck tablet mode.

I am sure you come across this one and,as you can see, even Microsoft suggest to reset PC if creating new account didn't help.

I read somewhere that re-registering all apps helped, didn't tried myself, will post link if find it. Run PowerShell as admin:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Edit: Link to article. Check comments, interesting method with copying \Local\TileDataLayer\Database folder - worth a shot. Wonder if copy/paste from another PC would work

Nothing has worked to fix the issues. Resigned to the fact of doing a refresh of windows. I take it this will affect other user accounts on the PC.
