    Windows 7 Starter - Start Menu "Default Programs" button


    Hi, I recently fixed my laptop from not booting at all. The problem was, I dual booted my Windows 7 Starter with Ubuntu using a partition, I made another partition to try to allocate more memory to my Ubuntu side and I got an error on boot up that said "Error: Unknown filesystem Grub rescue>". I fixed this and deleted the dual boot but now when I boot up into Windows (as this is now the only OS) on my start menu where it used to say "Default Programs" now says "Default Programs command object for Start menu". I can't help but think this has something to do with the huge mistake I made but I was wondering if there is a way I can fix this?

    I've attached an image of what I mean in case you don't understand. I hope someone can help me out. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Have you tried running sfc?

    Open the Command Prompt (Use the "Run as administrator" option in the context menu).
    Type:
    sfc /scannow
