Task Manager

Hi Sofi. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

The Start listing in Task Manager is Start Menu Experience Host which is explained here: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/what-is-startm...

The Search listing in Task Manager is for Windows Search Service which provides the Task Bar and Explorer Search.

I hope it helps. Feel free to ask any questions.

No Start Menu and Problems with Task Icons

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue

• 
  Clicking on the start menu icon (left click) does nothing, Right click brings up a simple function list
  
  
  
  
  
  You can try these steps:
  

• • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
  • Click File > Run New Task
  • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
  • Type Powershell
  • Type the following in the Powershell prompt:
    
    $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest
  • Close the Powershell window
  • Reboot

• 
  Clicking on the File Explorer icon (task bar) does nothing. Right click does nothing.
  
• 
  Right clicking on any task bar icon, including open apps, does nothing
  

For these issues you can try these steps:



Method 1: I suggest you to run the SFC scan and check if it helps.

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files: (Windows Logo Key + X and then click on Command Prompt).

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

• 
  Several apps (Mozilla Thunderbird, Norton 360 specifically, have not been able to have been updated or re-installed. Norton support, using remote desktop app, gave up after 4+ hours of work today.
  

For this issue I would suggest you to run the app in compatibility mode





I would request to refer this link
