Non-Functioning Start Menu / Missing taskbar Icons
I seem to remember running across a post here regarding the problem with a non-functioning Start Menu button and missing or non-functioning taskbar icons that indicated this issue had been fixed in the Anniversary Update. Well I don't think so. I was playing with a brand new laptop on which I had set up three users and have the latest Windows 10 build installed. I was switching between users ("Signing-off" one and logging into another) trying to verify what settings were enabled and changing them if needed. I was on one user for maybe five minutes and had changed some settings. I logged off that user and then logged on to another. The desktop took a little longer than normal to start up (bad sign!). When it came up, the Start Menu button did not work if I left-clicked it (right-click did work) and no icons appeared on the taskbar. I restarted the system and logged in again. This time the desktop came up correctly. So this issue still exists. Whether it is still doing things in the background when I sign out and gets messed up somehow, I don't know but it has been an issue since day 1.
