    Wnndiows Start Button at lower left corner of Desktop

    I have been using Windows 10 since first updating to it from Windows 8 a year ago, with little difficulty. However, suddenly today the Start button at the lower left corner of the screen will not work, nor does the adjacent search button.

    All other taskbar buttons, e.g. Edge, work perfectly.

    I find the problem annoying, since it removes easy access to Mail and all my Office apps.

    Is this a fault that has suddenly appeared since the last update? It seems puzzling that all was well before today.

    I have followed the instructions given in "Reinstall start menu in Windows 10" with complete success!

    Thank you for your expert advice; I appreciate your taking the time to help me solve a problem that I would be totally unable to have solved.

    Yours very gratefully,

    Assuming RIGHT click at Start button still works ?..................

    Run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.

    Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
    sfc /scannow

    > press Enter.
    It will take quite sometime.
    When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
    1. No integrity violation.
    2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
    3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

    If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
    If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
    If the report is #3, use this method................
    In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    > press Enter.
    Again it will take some time.
    When finished, it will give you a report.

    Desktop icons w/white dot at lower left corner...: Just curious about what settings causes this. Just started in January. Running 1909, patches/updates up-to-date. Most, but not all, icons have this. Laptop runs fine, no hitches or issues, just wondering what this is about. Regards, DD [ATTACH]...
