Windows 10: Unable to left click on almost anything at the taskbar

Hello,

I know that this might be an old issue, but I tried some of the solutions mentioned earlier this year here and on other websites but none worked for me.. Is there a new fix for this issue?

Thanks,

:)

 

Unable to open start menu or right click pinned items on taskbar.

I just installed Windows 10 and I am unable to open my start menu, and right click on pinned items on my taskbar doesn't do anything. I can left click to open them however.

 

Unable to left-click any taskbar icon (Start, Search/Cortana, Volume, Wifi/Internet, Time, Notifications) HELP

Try System Restore to a point before the issue happened. If it did not work, I'm afraid you will need to do a clean install.

Clean Install Windows 10

 

Try right clicking on one ....unpin from taskbar....then try reinstalling it on taskbar....now try opening it.

 

Mainly programs and explorer are not affected by this, it's the start , Cortana girl , all icons beside the clock and the clock itself are affected aside from language input..

 

Open Settings....type Taskbar in box at top....under notification area click on "turn system icons on or off.

 

I'm on that menu and able to hide and show taskbar icons from there, but how does this benefit in anything??

 

Sorry I'm not exactly sure what you are after...hopefully someone else can assist.

 

99 percent of the time I've found restarting Explorer or the machine does the trick.

 

Hello,

Just to clarify, this problem was solved by doing a windows update..
