Start Menu Power Actions gone

(1/4) > >>

RemcoH:
Hi, i am new to these forums. But i have used the software successfullyin the past.

However, this time i think it has removed the action for on and off button options.

In the start menu and in the options for Start Menu in Properties of Taskbar and Menu Start.

Note: for some reason, systemrestore point did not work, so i cant reverse the changes.

When booted in Safe Mode, the options are there. So it must be something in normal booted windows.

Also, Alt F4 doesnt work to bring up the shutdown options screen. It does work to close windows. So its specifically has to do with the power options.

i put the screenshots in the attachments.

I hope someone can help me.

Nothing in any of my programs touches anything to do with that, and in fact this is the first time I have ever seen a problem like that lol

You said it is there in safe mode, but not normal mode. That means it is most likely one of the 3rd party programs in startup causing it. Have you done a clean boot yet?

Hi,

Thank you for your advice.

I did what the topic on the forum said about a clean boot. Unfortunately this did not work. Are there any other things i could look at that could cause this.

I have searched Google many times, but nothing comes up with this problem.

I hope you can help me further.

Thanks.

When you say the system restore didn't work, do you mean that failed to restore the options or it reported as being unsuccessful and that no changes had been made ?

If it's the latter then try the restore points again in Safe Mode as an AV program can block a restore point action.

it did had a restore point. but i think it got deleted when putting back a register backup when i found out about the buttons missing in the start menu.

i have been in safe mode. no restore points there.

What i do notice is that in safe mode all the microsoft services, even though they are disabled aswell in normal boot. atleast form what windows shows me.

OH, the program did give some error when doing a system file scan. with the two following: msiexec.exe aclayers.dll when the scan comes around to msiexec the DLL error comes up.
