    Computer Start Button not working


    Hello, my windows is working fine. I can open apps such as chrome an zoom but I cannot press the start button. I cannot go on settings, task manager, apps on the start menu, Cortana, search bar. Nothing seems to be working. I cannot even shut down the computer, I have to right click and turn off. Please fix this issue as I am really confused on what to do? I have searched youtube and google but if I cannot open anything how will I fix it! Please help ASAP! Thank you

    :)

    Start Button displaying but not working


    The start button was working until there was a forced reboot (power failure). Then left click (normal click) over the start button does absolutely nothing. Right click brings up a menu but "programs" and also "settings" are missing and not included on this list. Search or Task View buttons do not work either with "normal" click. Does anyone have any suggestion or fixes?
    Thank you in advance *Huh

    Start Button and taskbar not working


    I did as suggested but didn't get to Troubleshoot or Reset computer. When it started back up with taskbar was complete and start button working. Everything seems ok, but slower. So thanks for that. Can you tell me about creating restore point manually and creating system image backup ?
