I saw early on that some users couldn’t get the Start button to work. After installing updates to Windows 10 I was horrified to find all sorts of issues. The netbook had been performing really well for months and then after the updates all changed. Start up was really slow, there were no icons on the desktop and the Start menu didn’t appear. I could right click on the Start button and work from the options but everything was very odd. Firefox opened but kept minimising to the Taskbar. Shutdown just wasn’t happening because it was so slow.
I managed to leave the netbook running sfc/ scannow overnight but it didn’t put things right. Eventually, I clicked on the New notifications icon in the Taskbar and spotted Tablet mode. After pursuing that and getting into Settings I found that this was causing all the problems. It was set to return to Tablet mode each time Windows 10 started up. I rather think that this was in some way connected to the Windows 10 updates because I don’t think I made the changes. Touch wood, everything seems to be running well now but I was beginning to think that the computer was a lost cause and that either a reinstall of the OS was needed or worse that my Samsung evo SSD had corrupted.
