The same thing has happened to my Netbook, as well as the Edge Icon has disappeared. I downloaded Start10 and it will only open the Start Menu when set to Windows 7. This also happened in the last few days, as it is not monitored as it just is used for my weather stations. I think one of the updates it received caused the problem. I also discovered that the shortcut will not open the start menu either. Got to love updates. However stupid me and since the netbook is left unattended for a week at a time, I forgot to create a Restore Point. Have since created one, but still want the original start menu back.

 

Our life ain't it it is very annoying. *Drink1
