    Desktop stops working once I right click.


    Whenever I right click on the desktop (not on an icon) my mouse pointer starts the loading wheel and i can no longer left click or right click on the desktop. I can fix this by restarting windows explorer in task manager but then the next time I right click it breaks again. This is a new pc so im not sure if it was burned wrong or if it is a problem with windows.

    :)

    Start Button Stopped Working

    Yesterday the start button stopped responding. Cortana works okay and right clicking the start button opens a long list beginning with Programs and Features through Desktop. I restored from a point yesterday before experiencing the problem. Did not help.
    Any suggestions?
