    Ridiculously random death of start and search buttons on taskbar


    Final straw, just booted up and logged in and it's DOA immediately, didn't work once.

    I have followed advice already on here and other places, and none of it works.

    I'm thinking 3rd party app, anyone know one that works 100%?

    It's my final Windows 10 Pro issue after a fresh install.

    TIA!

    :)

    Search Windows (Windows 10) Not Working

    The search function has disappeared from task mgr too.

    Search does not work in folder view but does work if I right click on Start button. This is ridiculous.

    Search box missing from start menu in Windows 10

    With my version of Windows 10...

    Right click a free area of the Taskbar

    Left Click on Taskbar settings

    Under use small Taskbar buttons, slid that to the left which turned it off.

    Now Search is just to the right of the Start button, but on the taskbar

    Ridiculously random death of start and search buttons on taskbar

    I am going with Classic Shell, I still wonder what's up with the Start Menu and already made anything I really need access to available without it, a fun exercise.

    Microsoft didn't want the button to stay so perhaps this is the result of a weak effort on the in-house end.
