Power User Tasks Menu - Not Launching Tasks

[geostone]

My Power User Tasks Menu is not totally functional. Only the "Run" task launches. None of the other tasks work from this menu. I'm running an account set as administrator, and have tried the separate Administrator account to no avail.

Running Windows 8 Professional x64 upgraded from Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Gigabyte P67A-UD7-B3 motherboard
Core i7-2600K 3.40 gig
16 gig memory

I have tried implementing this tutorial: http://www.eightforums.com/system-s...e-windows-8-understand-you-administrator.html

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

George

Every day, a bunch of people come in here complaining about this or that not working. The common factor is that they ALL did upgrade installs. People who do clean installs, generally do not have such problems.

Draw your own conclusions.

My power user menu does not work at all, either from right click menu or Win + X. It was working when I first upgraded, but does not work at all now. My Laptop, however, still has a working power user menu...and I upgraded that as well. So Mystere...any other suggestions for this problem (preferably helpful ones)

I had the same problem and found a solution here: Win+X Power Users Menu has stopped working

It was caused by a bad shell extension.

Thanks
