  1. Can't access start menu


    I can't access/see the start menu when I turn the computer on, however I can see my files. Consequently I cannot access Microsoft office "word" or any of the other apps on the start menu. Added to this I cannot turn off my computer using the left click on the mouse. The windows icon seems to be frozen. I need to use a right mouse click to turn the computer off. I have tried a variety of strategies to fix e.g., PowerShell and Firmware to no avail. I have undertaken several security checks (all clear). As I'm not computer savvy I have purchased a program to try to sort out the issues - it states that there are X3 Malwares. However this program wants me to purchase updates before it will fix Can anybody help me with my dilemma?

    :)

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.
