Windows 10: win 10 1893 os build 17763.107 strange behaviour

Hi Chaps,

I'm getting some strange stuff going on after (I think) an update.
MS Edge disappeared from the taskbar and I cant use any of the check for updates or view update history.
All my favourites bar icons have reverted back to just stars in Edge and there was a problem logging in to Win 10 a couple of times. I don't really want to reinstall so any ideas?
Thanks

:)

 

Win 10 Pro erratic strange behaviour

Win 10 Pro v1703 OSB 15063.296 all app and software drivers are current.

Tablet mode is disabled = "always ask before switching"

Only a complete restart helps, and sometimes win 10 works as expected for a few hours, then the erratic behaviour comes back.

Login and after sitting idle 30min:

• Desktop icons some lose their text.
• LM click + drag on any desktop icon = duplicate icon
• RM = no menu
• Typing into web browser = open random menu

Cortana's Strange Behaviour After Creator's Edition Update


Interestingly, my Cortana also presents such a list, no numbers.

Try 'The first' 'The second' etc.

...which works well, until.... the list of available options extends beyond the box as here:




So this British English-sounding voice starts reading them 'Which Minitool do you wanna open...'

And reads the list...after which I see




Oh, come on Microsoft, this is as pathetic as your start menu, where I see



- these shortcuts, each for a different program, being taken from the folders of 2,3,or 4 per program in my nested start menu.

Which is one of a number of reasons I choose to use Classic Shell start menu which actually works. Reliably.
