Windows 10 Start Menu Not Closing When Starting Programs

2

A strange problem with my start menu has appeared recently. Whenever I click on a tile or search result to start a program, the start menu stays open after I have clicked on it, rather than closing like it should. The start menu does eventually load the program that I selected, and the program stays open, but the start menu isn't acting as it should. Whilst the start menu remains open I can also choose other applications and they open so I doubt it's a refresh issue.

I have checked disk performance, and it is fine (I am running a Samsung 850 Pro SSD and I did benchmarks/updated firmware). It is a small nusiance, but it is driving me insane.

Any ideas?

Yes, it eventually opens the program that I selected, but the start menu stays open rather than closing after I select something like it ought to. It makes me think that the process hasn't started, and I go to the processes list to check. – Nick P – 2016-01-24T21:30:23.427

But, after you open the program it stays open. Can you open another programme at that point or does it not respond – Dave – 2016-01-24T21:33:22.830

It stays open, and I can open another program at that point, yes. The problem is just that the start menu is acting sluggish. The start menu will stay open until that program loads a new window. – Nick P – 2016-01-24T21:34:50.907

Please edit your question and include this as it is important . Sadly, my ideas are normal. Update all drivers from manufacturer website, not MS site. Try rebuilding the index. – Dave – 2016-01-24T21:36:27.747

You got it Dave! – Nick P – 2016-01-24T21:38:02.557

Are all your drivers up to date? Did you rebuild the index – Dave – 2016-01-25T07:03:47.637

Updated the chipset driver, and that seems to have helped significantly. Thanks for the tip! – Nick P – 2016-01-26T02:37:02.300

So I ended up finding my answer to the problem. It turns out that my SSD was failing a month after I got it. Yeah, I got sent a defective one. Samsung is has the drive right now and they are checking up on it. Soooo much fun!

Update your drivers, including chipset and also rebuild the index (there are many tutorials on how to build the windows 10 index if you search)
