Windows 10: Unresponsive Part on Desktop

hey,

i am posting about a problem i have been having for quite some time, with windows 10 as well as 7. Its rather hard to explain, which could be the reason i came up empty on searching for it, so i'll start with an image:




Sometimes, after closing a full screen application, windows ignores part of one of my screens. the window in that image is maximized. i could put it in windowed mode and drag it over this "dead" part without a problem. however i cannot drag icons there or select this space by leftclick-dragging. i can even see the mouse cursor.

on rebooting, the black part is gone. this becomes rather tiresome though, and i'd like to find out why this keeps happening.

so far i've tried:
- changing desktop resolution
- unplugging screen
- reorder screens in windows
- restarting desktop window manager
- starting and closing fullscreen applications

if anybody has any suggestions, i'd appreciate it

:)

Desktop Unresponsive

Hello,

My computer is relatively new, only about 2 - 3 months old, yet I am experiencing lots of trouble. After closing the lid of the computer after finishing my work, it was all fine until I opened it again. It took forever to boot up to the login screen, and
when it did, did not allow me to enter my password. It wouldn't let me click on the on screen power button or ease of access button. After restarting a couple of times, however, it did allow me to enter my password and after alot of waiting I made it to the
desktop. This is where is got annoying. Firstly, all that appeared was the windows icon and search icon on the taskbar, and the notification icon and time across the other side. After a few more restarts it showed the desktop shortcuts, folders and recycle
bin etc. yet everything was unresponsive. I could not click on anything, all I could do was move the cursor.

Can someone please help, this is beginning to be very frustrating.

Thanks in advance,

Lachie
