It started a few days ago suddenly. First I noticed the Search on the taskbar wasn't working; Then I noticed that when I right clicked on start and checked the list of computer items, some did not open while others did. Event Viewer, Device Manager, Disk management, Computer Management, and Search all fail to work. I thought maybe a System Restore might work but I couldn't open it the usual way and when I finally found a way to get to it, it wouldn't accept my password although I used the correct one. Snipping Tool opened to a small white box shape with a red X meaning it wasn't working though I got snip and search working now. I looked up fixes online and tried some of them (some using the command prompt with administrator and powershell) but they didn't fix the problems. Any suggestions? (Note my C drive is a Kingfast IDE OS SSD drive and the D Drive is a Hitachi HDD Drive with 2 TB). I don't have any problems downloading anything, pictures, music and videos work as they should. All the problems seem to be Windows related. I do keep updating it regularly. The system is Windows 10 Pro 21H2.
