I will add: There is no calculator, Weather, NotePad, Paint, Feedback Center and many more necessary utilities. Windows Update does not help to solve these problems. This may have a better effect on memory and performance, but some components are really important.

- Was there something 'special' about your install? I installed 22616.1 last night and everything that you mentioned as missing is present. Not questioning you, just curious as to what might be different.
- I installed everything as usual. I even restored the system several times, but it still didn't help. There was nothing unusual during the installation. Are you really all right?
- Wow, that IS odd. I don't see any issues at all. I have poked around at everything I could think to try. Heck even my "Show hidden icons" button is back on my tray
