Win 10 Start Button not Working?

[paps511]

Hey,

 

So my windows button stopped working... I am running windows 10, and I think there was an update a few days ago, but it broke my windows button........ I click it, and nothing happens. I need to right click it to do anything, including turn off my computer...

 

Thoughts?

what about pressing the windows key?

Windows key does not do anything

I had the same issue before, a reset helped fix it. Go to Settings, Backup and Update, Recovery and there should be a reset button their. I went with a total reset but keep personal data option.

I will try that, thanks.

Click on it many times in a row, sometimes it makes it work again. Try restarting the system as well. If not, do as mentioned above.

Do a forced shut down reboot go in control panel and disable fast start up, http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-10-a.html

Its a common issue. Generally restarting the machine fixes it. Ive had it happen on my laptop a few times.
