Tile database is corrupt
Somera:
I read that your product can fix this problem. I tried the free version, and ran in safe mode, but it doesn't appear to fix this problem for me.
The problem is that taskbar search doesn't work and appear Cortana won't work/run because of the Tile database corruption.
I attach a screenshot from the MS STart Menu Troubleshooter
Free version took about 45 minutes to run on my PC, so I want to check if there are specific steps to use to correct this problem.
Thanks

When I get corruption in my Win 10 and a dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth or sfc /scannow commands don't fix it, I'll perform a repair install which doesn't affect personal stuff or installed programs.
Try those two cmds from a Command Prompt (Admin) and if they don't fix it, I'll run you though a repair install if you need it but you will require a Win 10 install disk or USB which you can get after reading the instructions at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
However, I'm not sure if 1803 will fit onto a standard DVD and it's advised to use at least an 8GB USB stick.

Hi! Thanks for fast reply.
I'm hesitant to try that windows repair install as I have RAID Drivers on my system, and I really need to do work the next two days.
Bummed the software won't fix this problem as I read reports that it does.
When I have more time to back-up my system, I can try the repair install.
I'm trying to attach a short video which demonstrates the problem...
Boggin:
A repair install takes about 3½hrs on my Win 10 laptop and then I sometimes have to reset whatever I have as my defaults, but it has no effect on any drivers except the Win 7 Realtek wireless driver that I use instead of the March 2016 it puts back on.
However, if you are concerned about your drivers then you can back them up from C:\Windows\System32 and if there is any detriment after the repair install then you can drag & drop them back in.
Did you perform the dism and sfc cmds to see what they reported.
The dism one is to repair the system and the sfc one is to check if any corruption remains - you could also check to see if your restore points would take you back to before this occurred.
Had you downloaded anything immediately prior to this occurring ?
Somera:
My concern is that after re-install that win10 won't boot up.
I think I did try dism and sfc, but those I can run again. There are many people who report same database tile error, and MS doesn't offer a good fix.
Beside the regular windows update, I downloaded & installed a bad program called FoneCopy, which also installed iTunes (I have no idea why backup software needs iTunes). This trashed my system and it wouldn't boot. Took me about 6 hours to get my PC working again.
