    Windows Button Stopped Working


    Hello, I had this issue over a year ago and it's happening again. For whatever reason the Windows button in the bottom left corner has stopped working, when I click on it a blue loading circle spins next to my cursor for a second before disappearing, same goes when I press the Windows Key on my keyboard. I've tried various Troubleshooting techniques when reading about this issue online, usually it's just various PowerShell and CMD scans that haven't fixed my issue. When this happened to me before the way I got around it was to make a new User Profile on my computer and then move all my files over since the Windows button worked there. I tried this again and it works, however I don't really want to go through the process of changing a bunch of little details on a new User Profile again and would rather find a solution for my current User Profile, thanks.

    Side button on G502 stopped working

    Hello,

    I've been using my G502 mouse for a long time , and it's great, recently however my side button (the "forward" button) has stopped working.

    I use this button alot when browsing and I don't know why but it no longer does it's function so I'm asking if anyone might be able to help me in this. I installed Logitech Gaming Software to check if maybe the button is unbinded but everything is normal. I also unplugged/plugged my mouse to see if it works and also restarting my PC, however still nothing.

    Anyone have any suggestions , I really like this mouse and would love to fix any problem it has.

    Thanks in forward.

    Start Button Stopped Working

    Yesterday the start button stopped responding. Cortana works okay and right clicking the start button opens a long list beginning with Programs and Features through Desktop. I restored from a point yesterday before experiencing the problem. Did not help.
    Any suggestions?
