  1. Can't move the start button to lower left, Windows 10, tried all usual fixes.... Can anyone...


    Installed Google Wear OS for my Fossil Watch, then transferred it to my phone. Noticed my start button had moved. Now I can't move it back to usual lower left no matter what I try. Anyone has any suggestions, I'd be most appreciative.

    :)

    Start button lower left corner of screen


    The Start button in lower-left corner of screen/desktop is not responding to left click.
    Is there something an amateur can do?

  3. Start button lower left of screen/desktop

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

    This issue might be due to corrupted or missing System files.

    I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check.

    Method 1: Run the SFC.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.

    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Method 2: Run the DISM Tool.

    If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the
      Enter key after each command:

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth


    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    3. To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type
    Exit, and then press Enter.

    Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.

    Hope this information is helpful. Perform the above troubleshooting steps and kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    My start button is missing from the lower left corner of my desktop screen

    I used to have the start button on the lower left of the desktop screen. I would hit that button and all the programs would be listed on the left side of the desktop screen. A friend used my computer and now it's gone. Now there are boxes on the screen
    with limited choices. Help!!
