Default Windows 10 issue

My husband is having prooblems with Windows 10. I have not downloaded yet. This is his issue: After a period of time, my Windows 10 Taskbar features become corrupt or unusable. I can click on windows start menu icon and nothing happens, or click on any of the QuickTasks in the taskbar including right click and nothing happens. The only way I have found to fix this is to restart windows(sometimes numerous times before it fixes itself.) Microsoft is apparently aware of the problem but the numerous displayed ways to fix it according to the forums do not always work for all situations. Has anyone experienced this problem or can suggest a fix?

I have had this problem for several months. Tried all kinds of fixes by googling "Windows 10 Start Menu Fix" but nothing lasted more than a few days. Finally last week I found something that works for now. I had to uninstall Dropbox and reboot. Then I reinstalled the Windows 10 Dropbox app through the Windows 10 Store. If you're not a Dropbox user, it may be another program that you downloaded that is causing a conflict.

Yes. The only way I can make it work again is unplug everything and then replug, reboot. I am telling you, I would like to be in a small room with Bill Gates.

How long have you had Window 10 on your computer? If it is less than 30 days, you can revert to you old operating system and then reload Windows 10.

If it has been more than 30 days, you can create a Windows 10 boot CD or Thumb drive that should help repair the current Win 10 installation.

This is the first I have heard of your issue. I have upgraded hundreds of systems to 10 (pro) with no issue. Not as much luck with 10 Home, not bad either compared to even going from one system to another on the same OS.

I will look today on some of my resources. We are getting ready to move our Oxford, Ocala, and a couple other offices to W10 en mass (we already did testing on a number of systems with zero issues).

I do have to ask...did you go from 8 to 10? (Meaning, not 8.1 to 10, just 8 to 10) if you know?

Record....do you still work? Do you own a big business here? Just plain old nosy.
