Windows 10: Windows Menu Not Clickable After Update

My brand new laptop forced an update about a week ago and now the start menu is not working! It opens, but Cortana, the power button, the settings button, the search bar, etc. all do nothing. Even if you find a different way to shut off the laptop safely (like through the task manager), it doesn't even shut off!!! The screen just goes black and the system stays on. I can't even begin to detail how extremely frustrating this is. Is there anyway to fix this?? I tried updating Windows again and the issue was fixed for about 5 minutes and started again. I am trying to uninstall the updates, but now it is stuck in "restarting" mode.

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

Start menu search items not clickable

This has been mentioned a lot and even though I'm constantly forced to update with a count down or scheduling reminder (I've seen posts of supposedly how to disable automatic updates however never had the time to investigate doing it myself but not happy
about how difficult the process is to disable it in W10P) I still don't see this problem getting addressed.

Problem: Search in start menu for random items result in un-clickable items. For example, type "remove" and the "Add or remove Programs" and "Uninstall a Program" options are listed at the top as one would expect but clicking on them does nothing.





Solution: Type "control" and the "Control Panel" option is listed and IS clickable. Then go to the sub option within the explorer control panel window.

Question: Why list items in the search result if they are not accessible? Is this intuitive? No.

Machine specific? Before suggesting this is a broken install it might help to know I can reproduce this on every W10 machine I've ever worked on of which exist in totally different environments, some were W8 upgrades...some were clean installs.

 

Some Cortana search results are not clickable

I selected all the files but yet some are not clickable.
