  1. Taskbar, start and booting issues


    So recently my laptop won’t let me click on the taskbar or the start button. Sometimes it takes a long while to boot up and when it does it’s as of the laptop is brand new because my wallpaper is back to default and my internet browser history is gone and wiped out. I can’t access settings or change wifi or change volume from the mixer or anything like that. I’m wondering what I can do about this?

    That should make it boot into Windows 10 without your intervention.
