Windows 10: Taskbar unresponsive to my keyboard

As above however I don't know the scale of the problem, but there sure is no way I can press the windows button and search for programs,

Neither does it work with the "search icon".

I recently had a friend come over and fix a problem with a "ctfmon.exe" file that made my c drive go up to 100% active time and make my PC lag a lot, if the problems are tied I don't know?

Please help with everything you can to fix this problem or optimize my PC I've had so many problems lately...
