New forum member, looking to help a friend during lockdown. Her new laptop is basically unusable and foreign to her because it is always displaying the start menu. I have searched for help on this subject, but none of the responses address this issue. We need help.

Welcome to Ten Forums corcaigher. Interesting problem. If you start a new thread in the General section someone will be along to help.

Greetings,
Am new to this forum, and know just enough about computers to be dangerous. I was part of the "internet revolution"...began with a start-up ISP in Dallas back in 1995-96, learned enough about systems to kinda-sorta-maybe understand stuff. Got out of the field in 2001, and of course things have REALLY changed since then. So, I'm computer literate, but not deeply computer literate. Clear as mud, right?

Welcome to Ten Forums ladyknight. We can help you catch up.

Wllcome. That problem is most probably due to "Tablet mode" turned on.
Go to Settings > System > Tablet mode (at left column and at top Change to "Use desktop mode".

Hi All! I just joined because I was searching the Internet for something and found it discussed here. I am 71 and a recently retired piano teacher. I have been almost retired for a year and then this virus came along and everyone is on break, but permanently. I know a little bit about computers, but not nearly enough. I just wanted to say "Hi!"

Welcome to TenForums, Susanna. Good to have another gal here.

Greetings,
I'm new to the forum and will visit every now and then to silent read and keep myself updated about what's up with windows update and it's woes, also to look for solutions for whatever trouble I might encounter in the future. I do custom PC building and troubleshooting as a side job, I'm not that well versed when it comes to complex issues so expect me to randomly appear when the time comes

Welcome to Ten Forums Sevestra. Don't be shy just ask away about your problems.
