Windows PC start menu will not diisplay
It has been this way several days now. If I left click on the Start menu icon (lower left corner of screen) nothing happens! To shut down the PC, I must right click on the icon and select "Shut down and sign out". I have no access to the start menu programs. The only ones I can get to are on the Task Bar. I rely heavily on the mouse to run programs due to some neurological issues that make actually typing something onerous.

Here are some simple solutions to help: To open the Task Manager, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Open Windows Explorer, right click and choose Restart. Press the Start button once again. If it still doesn't work: Open Task Manager, and click File → Run new task. Type: sfc /scannow Check that Create this task has admin privileges and run it. When it's finished, reboot your computer. The issue has been ongoing for days, so it's likely that the Start menu process or the Windows system files are corrupted. The orange flash could be related to a process repeatedly crashing and restarting.
