The last two nights the taskbar has been unresponsive after start up, the windows key brings up the start menu but I`m unable to open anything, the pointer doesn`t highlight anything.

After one or two shutdowns and restarts it`s ok but it`s odd that it has started behaving like this.

This is my desktop and its Windows 10 pro, any ideas?

Windows 10 is the spawn of the devil. I hate it.

[Mr Gav]

I like it and so far it`s been reliable apart from the wifi issue earlier

right click the windows logo bottom left, chose "Command prompt (admin)"

in the text box that appears type 

SFC /scannow  then press enter

DO NOT close this box until the system file check is complete .. it can take about an hour but usually about 15 minutes, you will get one of four responses at the end ..

1, no integrity violations .....  the check found no errors

2, could not perform the required operation .... either not in admin mode or no access to system files .. try running in safe mode

3, found corrupt files and successfuly repaired them ...... the most common, and best answer !!

4, found corrupt files but unable to repair them .... nasty .. the files need to be found from the CBS log and replaced manualy from another source ... doable but tedious, usually a complete "clean" install of windows is faster and better

HTH

One slight flaw in your cunning plan Baldrick.........the Windows icon is in the task bar so doesn`t respond 

booted it up this morning and all was well, but it did some disc checking of the c drive before it booted so maybe it`s sorted itself out.

One thing I did notice yesterday, when the Windows had booted and I got my desktop screen a small icon flashed in the task bar but it was so quick I couldn`t work out what it was but it didn`t do it this morning so I think whatever it was it was related.

I had what seems like the same problem very recently.
Close down, start up and press ESC. before the instruction text disappears, (be very quick).
This brought up a start up menu, including 'System repair' which sorted the problem in a few seconds.
Warning! I am not a computer expert so was really experimenting for a solution, but it worked for me, and I don't know why.

With an attitude like that you are unlikely to get any further help .. if you know all the answers .. why ask ??
