  1. Desktop, Taskbar and Start Menu not showing.


    The Desktop, Taskbar, Start Menu and Windows Key (Command) aren't showing up or working, not even on Safe Mode. I am using Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro 9. Bootcamp wasn't working properly before, so I restored it with the latest drivers and reset PRAM, which got it working well again, but didn't fix the first problem. Windows Explorer works fine for browsing files. All drivers, including video, are updated. I tried disabling every initializing program, including Classic Start Menu, which I thought might have been the issue, nothing changed. I tried going back to a restoration poin,t but it didn't succeed and showed a message saying it was probably blocked by an antivirus and I should try again with it temporarily disabled, but I have tried executing every single .exe file in the BitDefender folders and couldn't get the UI to show, so I can't restore it. I have been running programs manually using Task Manager (and now have switched to Process Explorer), but it is still a hassle to not have a proper Windows experience.

  2. Taskbar hides and shows itself after opening start menu.

    Steps:

    1. Using HDMI for a second monitor.
    2. Open start menu using the icon.
    3. Close start menu using the icon.
    4. Click anywhere other than the task bars. (e.g. an open window, the desktop, even the first monitor's desktop)
    5. Taskbar on second monitor slides down to be hidden.
    6. Taskbar then immediately slides up to reappear.

    If after closing the start menu (step 3), you click on the taskbar, then click outside the taskbar, this behavior does not occur.

    Performing the steps on the main monitor's taskbar does not produce this behavior.

    This has been happening for as long as I can remember using this laptop (~3years), with different nVidia drivers and Windows 10 updates.

  3. Removing "Store" from the windows taskbar and Start Menu.

    Hi Folks,

    I have Windows 10 Pro installed on a number of machines. On one machine I can't remove the "Store" from either the Start Menu or the Taskbar. On other machines this is a simple right-click and Unpin (taskbar) or right-click, More, Don't show on this list.

    Any suggestions?

    TIA,
