    Start button inoperative


    hello, the start button on my pc does not activate anything, and also, the search box adjacent to it does not accept any input. this has been an ongoing issue since September: i have attempted all the potential cures that have been offered in the thread including the CMD line modification, but without luck. the thread has now been closed and locked, as if a solution has been found, but if it has there was no mention of it in the thread before it was locked. to have no solution from September until three weeks into January seems like a major issue, and leaves us with no rollback facility eith

    :)

  2. Start button inoperative after update

    Since the last update I find the Start button at the bottom left of the screen is inoperative. To shutdown I need to Ctrc+alt+del to get the powere control and shutdown.

    Am I alone in this?

    Start Button displaying but not working


    The start button was working until there was a forced reboot (power failure). Then left click (normal click) over the start button does absolutely nothing. Right click brings up a menu but "programs" and also "settings" are missing and not included on this list. Search or Task View buttons do not work either with "normal" click. Does anyone have any suggestion or fixes?
    Thank you in advance *Huh
