  1. Why is my Windows Start button and task bar unresponsive? Task Manager with...


    On my desktop, my Windows Start button in the bottom left-hand corner is not responsive and my task bar is also not responsive. When I hover over the task bar with my mouse, I get a spinning circle but it will not let me click on anything. When I try to go into Task Manager with Ctrl+Alt+Delete that is also not responsive. I have spent hours on this problem and have rebooted an unknown number of times! Is my computer dying or is this a Windows 10 problem? Sometimes this problem is accompanied by a very loud fan noise.

  2. START BUTTON / TASK BAR UNRESPONSIVE

    Just updated to build 10586 and now START BUTTON / TASK-BAR ARE OFTEN UNRESPONSIVE, also icons on Task-bar and Notification Area sometimes do not display. Might have to revert to build 10240 if a fix is not distributed soon.

    Checked Windows feedback and others are experiencing the same issue.

    Just Wondering if this is being experienced by members of the Microsoft Community and if there is any solution?

    Thanks,

    Ron

    Start Menu Button on Task Bar becomes unresponsive

    On occasion, the Start Menu button becomes unresponsive, in which case the Start Menu does not open after clicking the Windows icon. In addition, other buttons on the task bar also become unresponsive. It is as if parts of, or all of the task bar becomes
    frozen. The only (temporary) fix is to restart Windows.

    I run Windows 10 Pro on a Lenovo Yoga 3-1470. Has anybody been having the same problem?

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
