  4. Is pressing "delete" on your keyboard a "back" button on your task bar?

    Windows 10 Start button, task bar menu and swipe does not work

    Dear Arun B J,

    Thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. But unfortunately this has not helped. Let me give you some more information on this.

    I had tried all the remedies that you can find when you type in "Windows 10 start button is not working' in bing or google... ie. powershell.. safe boot etc.. non of them worked and then I wrote to the window community.

    I have tried all the steps you have told me to do, but it has not helped me as the start button still does not work. also the window store icon and mail icon in the task bar is also invisible and only when I put the cursor on those it only shows the name
    i.e store or Mail. They are also not working when click them.

    I am really in trouble as I can not use the start button as I should be able to.

    PLEASE HELP... When would Microsoft have an remedy for this....

    Thanks

    Partha
