stuff that don`t work

Nice, no answers what so ever... still can`t open new notifications, still right-click don`t work on taskbar... and still no answer as to why

 

Volume Mute Light won´t change color

Disaster! Now the computer boots up to a background picture with date and time & two small Icons (no network and battery)in the lower rh corner. Clicking enter slightly dims the screen and adds a new small Icon lrh. Doing nothing returns the screen back to the brighter date/time and two icon screen after a half minute or so. WTF!!! Also, even though the mute buttons turns blue/green for a part of the boot-up time, at boot end we are back to orange so no change there. I´m writing this on a non-reliable backup laptop so please help!!!! UPDATE: After waiting several hours I tried again and pressed enter and was able to boot up but Norton says my security protection is not functioning (so I don´t dare go online), so please help me to restore to usual functioning. I just noticed that the tiny speaker Icon, lower right-hand side shows no sound function. Clicking on it opens the trouble finder but no problem can be identified and no solution is offered for the problem. New Update: opened system config and rechecked as on all the boxes that were previously unchecked per your suggestion and the sound mute button functions properly, albeit without the proper color function (as before) and Norton says that security is functioning normally so it seems that things are back to normal but I don´t know how to check to see if this is the case. Waiting for a reply before doing anything else.

For my model only up to win7 is listed and HP says that it does not provide win 10 upgrades for a laptop my age. Don´t know how to open or use msconfig-my computer skills are very selective and all in all very poor.
