Windows explorer?

[charbel1011]

I have a weird problem on my windows 10 home edition. the whole taskbar and start menu stops working all of sudden and i have to restart my computer to make it work. Like the whole taskbar stops working including my programs and everything i can't click on them they won't work.

is tablet mode on?

I feel your pain; after a few yrs mine used to do that same. I just made a scheduled task to run ever 60mins to kill explorer and than start it back up.

I eventually re-loaded windows and never had that happen since. 

 

My task basically ran these commands:

taskkill -f -im explorer.exe

explorer.exe

 

Its only going to work if your computer still responds to CTRL+ALT+DEL. If you dont want to use a scheduled task than try to open task manager and run those commands. Its a sloppy workaround, but might work.
