Windows 10: Shutdown button does not work / Tasks can't be closed / Desktop issues

Hey guys,

I recently upgraded Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro (all 64-bit). Now I have some trouble with this OS. My current installation is a clean installation from a bootable device.

First of all, my shutdown button does not work sometimes. I guess this is connected to my other issue: I can't close or kill some tasks via the Taskmanager. Steam is a good example for this issue.

And my last one: sometimes Windows 10 does not refresh my desktop if I delete or save files on the desktop.

I recently had another issue, where Firefox does not open a new window with a shift+left mouse button on the taskbar icon. It took about 60 or 90 seconds.

Drivers and Windows are up-to-date.

Thank you in advance guys.
Thomas

Restart and shutdown do not function from START button

Windows 10 Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.483)

When I try to restart of shutdown system from START button on task bar, it does nothing. If I have applications open on the desktop the start menu just closes closes and returns to whatever was open on the desktop. I have closed all application and have
just the desktop and attempt to restart and shutdown and nothing. Returns to my desktop. Shutdown /s /t 000 works. I have modified the power profile so that the chassis power button performs a shutdown and that works. I have three profiles on the computer,
two are administrator and one is standard. All do the same thing.

I have 3 machines at the same version and only one of them has this problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Windows 10 not restarting or shut down properly when using start button

When I try to restart of shutdown system from START button on task bar, it does nothing. If I have applications open on the desktop the start menu just closes closes and returns to whatever was open on the desktop. I have closed all application and have
just the desktop and attempt to restart and shutdown and nothing. Returns to my desktop. when shut down or restart using Alt+F4 it happen properly and also there is difference between screen saver when using start button or when using shortcut. also my
updates get stuck and installation has failed, it keep on reminding me to restart but restart does not help at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Is this an older Laptop or Desktop? Sounds like Driver problems, or, check your HDD. Try that first. Run CHKDSK c:\ /f on the drive, then defrag it in Windows. After that, install CCleaner from piriform.com and check if you have a bunch of junk files, last PC I worked on, had almost 10 Gig of temp files and crud, and it WAS acting somewhat like you describe.

 

No this is a brand new desktop as you can see in my specs (I paste it below). However I tried chkdsk without any results. Everything is fine.
