    AppXManifest missing

    My taskbar is almost completely broken. The only function I have with it is win+r, the task manager, and anything else you can get by right-clicking the taskbar. The start button does nothing, and neither does the windows key on my keyboard. Alt-tabbing
    is also weird because it changed from the sleek look brought by Windows 10 to something you would see in Windows 7 when you turned off all of the fancy graphics settings. I believe this attributes to a missing file called "AppxManifest". When I ran Get-AppXPackage
    -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose} in Powershell, everything went swimmingly except for an error that said:

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

    How do I fix this problem?

    HI,

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

    Timeline under PEOPLE shows nothing

    It's possible that some system files for the People app needs to be re-registered. To do that, we suggest following these steps:


    • Right-click the Start button.

    • Click Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Copy and paste the following command: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *People*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage
      -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
      and press Enter.

    • Once it's finished, close the Command Prompt and check if Timelines are available on the app.



    Gice us an update on what happens after re-registering the People app.
