    Windows Start, search, or settings will not work/open at all on Windows 11? As well as...


    Just recently, after turning on my laptop, I noticed my taskbar would not go away when I logged into each of my games. So I went to click the Windows start button, and it was completely unresponsive. I then tried to click search, and nothing opened on that either. When trying to access settings where the audio mixer is, it doesn't open up that way at all. I've searched endlessly on Google and YouTube, and none of the fixes work. Any fixes? I've attempted to restart Windows Explorer through task manager but nothing works.

    :)

    Click the start button, in the search box type in 'windows updates', click on 'windows update'
    in the search results list, in the left side of the windows update window click 'change settings'
    then in the option bar select 'Never check for updates'.

    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
