View 6 RepliesI keep finding solutions for the issue with a black screen before login or after login and to use the task manager, but my problem is a little different.
I can log in using my pin, and press ctrl+alt+dlt to get the option to bring up the task manager. However, when i click it... no task manager pops up!
I have 4GB of DDR3 ram on my laptop. When I go into the task manager to check how much ram is being used, it says only 795MB and yet it also says that 94% is being used.
This is always the case, of course with varying numbers. The memory usage shown does not coordinate with the percentage, but the computer performance certainly correlates with the percentage.
When I check in cpu-z, it does confirm that the 4GB are all installed. What is going on here?
Updated with pics:
I missed the performance tab which does indeed show all of the correct total amount of ram being used. Now how do I find all of the individual processes and services using those resources?
After a recent update I'm locked in to the Task Bar menu and cannot access the windows 10 live icon menu. Can't access the apps and Cortana doesn't work. I've tried to change the page by clicking on the windows Icon at the top of the task bar and using the windows button on my key board. Am I missing something?
View 6 RepliesI have just updated Windows 10 to Version 1501. I had to install Windows 10 from the Microsoft Update site, as the auto Update stalled 3 times at 91% .
Since then, when I open Mail from the Start Screen, although it opens OK , and there is a white horizontal line on the task bar, the Mail Icon is not there.
If I hold the cursor over the area where the icon should be, the small display comes up and I can click and open it from there OK, just the icon is missing.
Since I skipped Windows 8, I didn't get to use its new task manager.
But now that I'm on 10, I'm heavily enjoying this AMAZING new task manager.
However, I just noticed (not sure how I didn't see this before) that Task Manager is showing that my i5-2500K is running at 5.29GHz! I do have it overclocked to 4.2GHz @ ~1.31 volts. Why this might be happening? I searched around a bit and I found that some other people have this problem with the i5-2500K and the Task Manager, but nobody really knows what it is.
I've not got the 'Start Menu' tab in my 'Taskbar and Start Menu Properties' control panel (right-click on taskbar). I've seen screenshots on the web, but my Win 10 Pro doesn't have. How can I enable?
View 1 RepliesThis issue just popped up after restarting my computer today. Earlier, all the task bar icons were showing and I could see the time/date, but clicking on them would do nothing. Also whenever I tried to open pictures with "Photos" I would get an error message about something timing out and I would have to use windows explorer.
So I restarted, and when I booted my computer up again, the task bar icons never showed up and the time and date is gone. I can't click on cortana and clicking the windows icon will bring up nothing. I've restarted twice since then but nothing has worked so far.
Windows 10 only offers 49 different colors for the color of the Start Menu and the Task Bar. None of which are light grey colors, like I had in Windows 8.0. Please have us be able to change the color of the Task Bar. Why didn't Microsoft give us a full RGB color spectrum choice of what color we want our start menu to be and our task bar to be, like in Windows 7? Only 49 colors, come on. These 49 colors are in Settings -> Personalization -> Colors

I may have to use Start10 in order to get control of the colors.
Sometime in December, 2015 my keyboard Windows button and my task bar Start menu and Search stopped working and without the ability to START I lost all the tiles. Windows has now become very cumbersome to use.
I have given up on Windows 10 and it's too late to recover Windows 7 (Windows 7 was great). Really wish this had not happened as I have been a Windows user since version 3.1. I guess I posted this here because I'm frustrated with the problem and need to air it out. Must buy a new PC.
On the Task Bar and Start Menu Properties screen, my middle tab is 'Navigation'.
Isn't it supposed to be 'Start Menu'???
I'm not getting any error messages on boot up, but the start menu doesn't work and my task bar contains only the start menu, cortana, task view and an icon for no new messages. No clock, none of my programs or even edge. If I hadn't put some of my programs from the taskbar in a folder on the desktop, I'd have a hard time getting to them.
I've rebooted 4 or 5 times since this started on Wednesday and tried the critical error fix of holding down the F8 while rebooting and nothing has worked. I've been running win10 since August and have had the critical error message a few times, but have always been able to clear it before.
I tried the powershell command, but it did not work. Is there any quick fixes to this? I'm not ever good with OS related problems!Also, I can't use cortana, so I am guessing this is definitely an OS related problem.
View 1 RepliesI too have taken the plunge and upgraded two of my systems (my personal laptop and my work desktop) to Windows 10 and working on a third (HP Stream 8 tablet). I am having an issue on my laptop where the Settings menu does not load. I wanted to go in and change some of the personalization settings and tinker with a few others but when I did, the window flashed for a brief second and then gave me and error that reads as follows:
"ms-settings:notifications - This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
Again this is just to open the Settings menu. I did not receive the same message on my work computer. Mind you, the laptop is from 2010 and came with Windows 7 and I've been able to successfully upgrade each time, including today (albeit very slowly).
I just recently(July 30th) installed Win 10 on my Toshiba C55D-A5382 laptop, that originally came with Win 8.1(purchased summer of 2014). After the full install of Win 10 - that took 35 minutes to do(using Brighthouse Lighting 150Mbps connection), Win 10 flashed up saying - install was a success. After it restarted and I signed in(newer start pages look great to me), I placed the cursor on the "Start Button" to have a look see at all the new stuff to be seen(but to no avail). "Start Button" does not work at all nor does the bottom task bar line either, and my laptop has been on for 3 straight days now(getting worried about over heating issues). When I had Win 8.1 OS on this laptop, it use to go to sleep on it's own - but not now. I have waited patiently for "Windows Support" .... Using both "Live Chat" as I waited for over 74 minutes, and over the "Phone Support" as I waited for over an hour - both to no avail. Is there anyway to kick start the "Start Menu" again? Can I go back and re-install Win 8.1 on to it and then re-install Win 10 on it again?
View 1 RepliesI just performed a fresh install of Windows 10 10049 on my Surface Pro 3 and now the Start menu/screen does not show when I press the Start button. Looking for regedit to re enable the menu. The problem existed on 10041 but was working initially after the install completed but stopped working shortly afterwards.
View 5 RepliesCurrently Windows 10 isn't showing apps that I already installed, for example, If I type Audacity or Sony Vegas, nothing appears. I have to manually go to the files directory and run the application or make a desktop shortcut (which i dislike) any way to fix?
View 1 RepliesAs per the image below - why are many of my apps not showing their icons? There's not options to change them and I've tried pinning the original .exe and shortcuts to the app but there is no difference.
View 4 RepliesI got this problem on new "open with" menu. A empty entry appears for image file extensions. (see picture below).
View 5 RepliesEver since I installed Windows 10, a lot of text and icons in the search menu are not showing up ever. I've tried the obvious things such as restarting my computer and making sure I have all Windows updates. My start menu and everything else seems to work normally. Here are the screen shots of what I'm seeing:

View 7 RepliesSince I started using Windows 8, I used a custom all in one context menu with separator lines between the subcommands menu items, but with Windows 10 the separator lines doesn't show at all.
View 3 RepliesI have installed Aome hdd manager on my W10 PC and laptop. On the PCs it appears in the start menu and also as an icon in the start menu.
But on the laptop it is not showing, have uninstalled and reinstalled and created a shortcut from the installed .exe file then chose pin to start menu, but still nothing ...
Today I was going to power off my PC and went to start menu and when clicking on the power option it pops up the squeare but its empty. Has no options totally empty.

The sart menu button does not activate anything, search doesn't either, Notification bubble does not open anything either.
Safe mode produces same behaviour, I have uninstalled AVG Anti virus as some people were correlating AV software with this behaviour.
I can right click on the start button but not left click
While trying to discover why my most used list was not showing up on the start menu, I learned that when I right click on the task bar and go to properties, the Start Tab is not present where it should be.
