  1. Task bar and start menu not working on startup


    There is this annoying issue where anytime I power on my PC it takes a couple seconds longer than usual to boot up and the taskbar and start menu just wont work. There is a blue icon spinning and when clicking the taskbar my screen flashes and nothing happens. I have to shut down and power on again to fix it. What could be causing this?



    I turned off all startup apps and I cant figure out what is causing it, I have razer synapse but Im not sure that is the issue. Everything is updated and drivers are up to date.

  2. Start Menu and Task Bar not working

    Hi,

    I've had an issue for several weeks where my Start Menu and Task Bar don't respond (or respond very intermittently) to both left and right mouse clicks. I've searched the net and this community forum, and it appears that this problem has been pretty prevalent
    for at least a couple of years.

    I've tried the most commonly proposed solutions, e.g.

    • The PowerShell as administrator solution, using "

      Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}". This just hangs indefinitely, with the progress bar never moving. I've left this for
      over an hour, and seen no movement at all in the bar.

    • I've tried the sfc /scannow solution multiple times. The first few times, it just reported that it couldn't find any issues. Recently, it now just says: "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"

    The only way I've actually been able to temporarily resolve the problem, is by shutting down the PC and then pulling the power cord on the PC. This restores all functionality for the next session, but then the next time I restart or shutdown and then restart
    my PC, the Start Menu and Task Bar is broken again.

    I've been struggling with this issue for nearly a month now, and it's starting to become incredibly frustrating. This is especially true when it appears that the issue has been ongoing for years, and none of the suggested solutions appear to work. Any help
    that anyone can provide would be enormously appreciated, as I'm starting to get incredibly frustrated by this issue.

    Thanks in advance,

    Pizzicato
