Windows 10: Windows 10 Taskbar & Background Malfunctioning

Recently I have been having an issue with the background and taskbar on my computer freezing in that I am unable to click on anything. After having a few tabs open in Google Chrome for an hour or so, I try to click the taskbar and I cannot do anything. My laptop is also a touch screen and it still does not work. When I close Google Chrome through keyboard commands, I realized that I also cannot click on my background. I have already run PowerShell and performed a full system scan through Windows Command and it still happens ever so often. Once I close my laptop and relog into my laptop, it works again but I would prefer to not have the hassle of doing that daily.


I got my laptop a few months ago and I have an anti-virus system installed so I do not know what is wrong! Thank you in advance for any assistance or help you can provide!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
