Start menu and notification icons are not responding on windows 10

Recently I am having problem with the start menu and the notification area icons (native windows' ones) in windows 10. When I wake up the laptop from sleep mode and click on the start menu, network icon, volume icon, battery, action center icon, they do not respond. 3rd party app icons are working fine though. If I restart the Explorer.exe, for the first instance it works and then again the same issue persists. This issue wasn't there with Windows 10 RS1 build. After I have upgraded to RS2, it was fine for a month. I have exactly the same 3rd party apps and programs installed in RS2 which I had in RS1 build.

   I got tired  of buggy Windows  10 so I  used Linux and got my OEM Windows 8 key out of the bios and installed Widows 8.1 back  this is the 1st time I had windows 8.1 on this PC since July 2015 and  this old PC is running like a new one now again after  going back too the OS that came on it. My other PC still has Windows 10 RS1 on it  and I'm not fooling with it tell RS2 gets on updates. But I'm using 8.1 for my daily driver now. :P

Did you try this command?

 

shutdown -g -t 0

I can't execute this without knowing what it does. I know shutdown command with -s -t 0 and -r -t 0 handles. But I don't know what -g -t 0 does.

Just when I start to like Windows, they has a habit of their own to piss me off. Why the hell they even think of delivering beta sh!t through their godforsaken a$$h0le in the very sensitive Operating System business? Hopeless m0r0ns! :angry:

Major Updates are considered the same thing as service packs now before many stayed behind on older service packs for as long as they could because of problems  just  they not had a whole lot of them since XP  . Alot stayed behind on SP2 tell they were forced on too SP3 and had compatibility issues and and stuff  because I used it from day 1 .

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

All my compatibility bugs ended as soon  as I put windows 8.1 back in  some of them have been present since the 1st release of windows 10  and it took them along time too work out the kinks in redstone 1  and  I always liked Windows  every since 2001 but I like Linux too . But bugs in windows is nothing  new  and now new ones comes much faster so  it's time to stop forcing updates if you want a stable OS . When you force updated too RS2 there is no one too blame but yourself  now if they updated you it's different . :)

Windows reboots everything completely, so this will probably restore Start Menu and Notification Area icons.
First Windows key + R
then shutdown -g -t 0

 shutdown-command-587958c65f9b584db38cff9

 

 

Some explanations:

Spoiler

 

The shutdown  command is a Command Prompt command that can be used to shut down, restart, log off, or hibernate your own computer.

The shutdown command can also be used to remotely shut down or restart a computer you have access to over a network.

Shutdown Command Syntax

shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e | /o] [/hybrid] [/f] [/m \\computername] [/t xxx] [/d [p:|u:]xx:yy] [/c "comment"] [/?]

 

/i = This shutdown option shows the Remote Shutdown Dialog, a graphical version of the remote shut down and restart features available in the shutdown command. The /i switch must be the first switch shown and all other options will be ignored.

/l = This option will immediately log off the current user on the current machine. You can not use the /l option with the /m option to log off a remote computer. The /d, /t, and /c options are also not available with /l.

/s = Use this option with the shutdown command to shut down the local or /m defined remote computer.

/r = This option will shut down and then restart the local computer or the remote computer specified in /m.

/g = This shutdown option functions the same as the /r option but will also restart any registered applications after the reboot.

 

/a = Use this option to stop a pending shutdown or restart. Remember to use the /m option if you're planning on stopping a pending shutdown or restart that you executed for a remote computer.

/p = This shutdown command option turns off the local computer completely. Using the /p option is similar to executing shutdown /s /f /t 0.You can not use this option with /t.

/h = Executing the shutdown command with this option immediately puts the computer you're on into hibernation. You can not use the /h option with the /m option to put a remote computer into hibernation, nor can you use this option with /t, /d, or /c.

/e = This option enables documentation for an unexpected shut down in the Shutdown Event Tracker.

/o = Use this shutdown switch to end the current Windows session and open the Advanced Boot Options menu. This option must be used with /r. The /o switch is a new beginning in Windows 8.

/hybrid = This option performs a shutdown and prepares the computer for fast startup. The /hybrid switch is a new beginning in Windows 8.

/f = This option forces running programs to close without warning. Except with the /l, /p, and /h options, not using shutdown's /f option will present a warning about the pending shutdown or restart.

/m \\computername = This shutdown command option specifies the remote computer that you want to execute a shutdown or restart on.

/t xxx = This is the time, in seconds, between the execution of the shutdown command and the actual shutdown or restart. The time can be anywhere from 0 (immediately) to 315360000 (10 years).

If you don't use the /t option then 30 seconds is assumed. The /t option is not available with either the /l, /h, or /p options.

/d [p:|u:]xx:yy = This records a reason for the restart or shut down. The p option indicates a planned restart or shut down and the u a user defined one. The xx and yy options specify major and minor reasons for the shutdown or restart, respectively, a list of which you can view by executing the shutdown command without options. If neither p nor u are defined, the shutdown or restart will be recorded as unplanned.

/c "comment" = This shutdown command option allows you to leave a comment describing the reason for the shutdown or restart.

You must include quotes around the comment. The maximum length of the comment is 512 characters.

/? = Use the help switch with the shutdown command to show detailed help about the command's several options. Executing shutdown without any options also displays the help for the command.

Tip: Each time Windows is shut down or restarted manually, including via the shutdown command, the reason, type of shut down, and [when specified] comment are recorded in the System log in Event Viewer. Filter by the USER32 source to find the entries.

Shutdown Command Examples


shutdown /r /d p:0:0

In the above example, the shutdown command is used to restart the computer that's currently being used and records a reason of Other (Planned). The restart is designed by /r and the reason is specified with the /d option with p representing that the restart is planned and the 0:0 indicating an "Other" reason.

Remember, major and minor reason codes on a computer can be displayed by executing shutdown without options and referencing the Reasons on this computer table that's displayed.


shutdown /l

Using the shutdown command as shown here, the current computer is immediately logged off. No warning message is displayed.


shutdown /s /m \\SERVER /d p:0:0 /c "Planned restart by admin"

In this shutdown command example, a remote computer named SERVER is being shut down with a recorded reason of Other (Planned). A comment is also recorded as Planned restart by admin. Since no time is designated with the /t option, the shutdown will begin on SERVER 30 seconds after executing the shutdown command.


shutdown /s /t 0

Finally, in this last example, the shutdown command is used to shut down the local computer immediately, since we designated a time of zero with the shutdown /t option.


Note: As may or may not be apparent by reviewing the above syntax, the earlier version of the shutdown command uses a dash (-) instead of forward slash (/) for the options.
