  1. Task Bar/Navigation access


    I searched for answers to this question on the forum, and found some answers, but none of them worked for me. So I am posting now hoping someone can provide me some sort of assistance.


    I have an HP touchscreen laptop I bought last year and I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I can login fine and get to the desktop. But after I get to the desktop, I can not access the task bar on the bottom boarder of my computer. I can't click on the clock or start menu (windows flag) icon. I've tried using the windows button on my keyboard and also touch the screen, but nothing will access any of the buttons on the bottom. Mind you, it worked fine in the morning, but when I logged back in several hours later it didn't work anymore. I have done the system restore, and nothing.


    However when I click any icon (recycle bin, Chrome, etc) on the desktop, it will launch them fine and I can use them. I just can't access the items below.


    I can ctrl-alt-del and get to the task manager to see if anything is running, but I can't see anything out of the ordinary. This has crippled my computer and I can access some of my apps.


    If anyone has any suggestions, please help. Thanks.

    :)
