Start menu, settings and notification area won't open.
When I click on the start button, nothing happens.
It highlights when I hover over it, but doesn't react to being clicked.
The same is true for the notification area.
I can right click on the start button and it provides the normal options.
Again the same is true of the notification button.
I have the settings app pinned to the taskbar, but the icon is not visible.
I know that it is still recognised as being there, as it highlights when I hover over it, and it holds its place like any visible icon would.
Right clicking it does nothing.
At first, the start menu was the only thing not responding. The notification panel was working, as I remember changing to 'tablet mode' to try to resolve it.
I restarted the computer, but that was when I discovered that notification panel was no longer working. I don't know the state of the settings icon before I restarted.
I have also restarted into safe mode, but the problem still occurs.
I have not downloaded any new software since it started occurring.
I have checked the task manager and there appears to be no change in performance.
Any assistance would be appreciated, as this is getting really frustrating!
Thank you in advance
