Action bar and Windows key not working on Win 10
-
Don't know what has happened but clicking on or pressing the Windows key doesn't pop open the apps menu, similarly clicking on the status bar speaker icon(or any of them) doesn't pop up the volume slider, I did have the usual Windows updates failure this morning where it tries to apply the updates,fails, and then undoes updates . Anyone had this ?

Sounds like Windows Explorer in Zombie Mode. The solution is to kill the explorer.exe process via Task Manager. Windows explorer should restart automatically. If not, <Windows key> + <R> (Run) should help. I did not have issues with the latest Windows updates.

Thanks for your reply, explorer.exe is not shown in Task Manager but I started it from run - no change I'm afraid

There need to be an Explorer in Taskmanager, Tab Details. Close all programs, including all visible explorers. Kill the explorer in Taskmanager->Details. If you kill it desktop disapears and you get a blank screen. Type Ctrl&Alt&Delete and choose 'Taskmanager' In Taskmanager choose 'File -> Run new task', type in explorer to run explorer. Desktop should now be back.

Hi there thanks for your reply, I did everything you suggested but the situation is the same Windows key not working and status bar icons not responding

Could the key be broken? After my last laptop got long in the tooth, its ZXCV keys pretty much stopped working!

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.Hi Greg, that wouldn't explain why the mouse click and hover is also not working - everything was cool until the update

I guess you can tell who merely reacted to the first symptom in your post. :doh:
