    Issues with Start Menu after sleep


    I am having an issue where the computer goes into sleep mode, when it comes up, I can't access things on my start menu. For example, I click the power button to restart, it shows the options, but doesn't highlight when you mouse over it. Another issue is that Outlook doesn't load messages. Is this a known issue or is there a fix that isn't resetting the pc?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Start menu issue

    yeah I've been less than happy with the start menu also.
    for me I for me I get freezes in start menu, especialy returning from sleep...which reminds me sleep is such a pain in the butt since I switch to Windows 10. Either waking up on its own, or system freezes when recovering from sleep

    Stardock was a nice switch from vanilla, but i wasnt gonna buy it and 30 days goes by quick.
