What causes malfunctioning Start Menu Button in Windows?
This has been an ongoing problem in nearly every fresh install of Windows 10 and nearly every major update of the OS.
The Start Menu Button will do nothing when clicked (both right-click and left-click). It fails to display the Start Menu.
What causes this error?
I'm aware most answers will be along the lines of "Microsoft's patches are in an imperfect state when released and don't always demonstrate compatibility with the wide variety of configurations and third-party programs found on many of their implementations".
Could anyone provide a more in-depth answer as to the suspected causes of this error?
This would go a long way to assisting me in gaining an insight into what is causing this error. Most search-engine research just yields 'fixes' that don't always work and don't necessarily explain much as to what they're doing.
