Cortana Appx PackageSync errors

I have removed Microsoft edge and Cortana from my computer but on start up it shows in the Event Viewer that there is always 2 errors relating to searching for the Cortana package (Appx PackageSync). Just wondering if you know how I can stop my computer from looking for Cortana at all.

activate windows 10

I was on Insider program which loaded enterprise edition a few years ago.

When computer crashed it reloaded a windows 10 home and now wants me to activate the 10 program. I paid for a win 10 home edition but it will not accept the activation code because of the enterpirse edition I just use without the activation. I tried talking to microsoft and not any answer.

Start Menu Disappeared

A few weeks ago while using Windows 10 on my desktop computer, the monitor momentarily went black then came back on. But since then the Start Menu is totally missing. After clicking on Start button, an error message comes up now.

startup

If I have to restart, it takes 20 minutes or more to load completely. I have basically nothing in startup and can't figure out what is making this take so long. It's the same whether a restart or new start. The hard drive is only a little over half full with lots of pictures. Logically it has to be in either ASUS or windows (10). It's very frustrating and because it takes so long to load, I leave it running. For quite a few years I paid for a service that cleaned the system once a month and helped with any problem. I am no longer using it as it was expensive and even though I stressed the startup time issue, they never improved it.

You can see a lot about the machine, but it doesn't say it's an ASUS 15" laptop, purchased in September of 2014, model R510LAVS51 with core i5
I didn't know if you needed this, but I'd rather give you unnecessary information than have you come back to me.

thanks so much

Super slow opening of files and folders

Hi hope all is well with you!!
For the last week I am having issues opening any file or folder. It seems like it takes a minute or 2 for them to open. It is driving me nuts.
I have tried most of the items in https://windowsreport.com/file-explorer-slow-windows-10/ with no effect.
Anything you may provide would be appreciated!
Thank you
Robert

My Windows 10 Pro version asks for activation

Hello,
I wonder why my Windows 10 Pro version, upgraded from Windows 8.1, asks for activation(---> go to settings ) since 2 weeks.
The notice pops up everytime I strart the laptop.
I have read that the OS might become unstable if not"activated"..
When checking, Windows is activated, and the key seems to be valid, but with a digital license "provided by "Your Organization""
Is there a way around it, without wiping the drive and install "new "Windows 10 Pro ? I did make a back up copy with Auslogics Bitreplica on a WD drive though..
Thank you for any answer that may show a solution.
Many regards,
Robert Soer

Formula not working correctly

when formulating a two page expression, the first page is not reading the second expression. I have given you the two formulas - I would hopefully like to have this sorted; if possible.

the first one should denote the year: In this case 2020

=IF(MONTH($A$5)<>MONTH($A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)),"",$A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1))

The second shouldgive me the first day of the year:

=IF(MONTH($A$5)<>MONTH($A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)),"",$A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1))

Question, is this even possible?
