My start menu has stopped working, I can't right-click on taskbar items (does nothing) and the volume button doesn't work (I right-click to go to volume mixer)
How do I resolve this?

There are several things you can do in this case, like changing the settings of the start menu, and installing updates.

I had that happen a couple of days ago, I hit ctrl-alt-del and told it to restart... and it started to, but never completed. Hard reset and chkdsk after that, seems to be working normally now.
what do u mean by hard-reset? – Blaine – 2015-09-19T06:20:14.577

Have you added any new software that adds [or should] an entry to the context menu? (r-click) I've seen that mess up explorer in the same fashion on win 7, but killing explorer.exe always fixed it. – Seeds – 2015-09-22T20:46:36.027

Most of the time a simple restart will do the job. if not you could have a driver problem. specially using win xp
i actually feel very dumb installing win 10 over 8 (fresh-install) and as of a restart ; i have done it a million times – Blaine – 2015-09-19T06:19:34.273
have you restartet the Shell (Explorer.exe) as admin? here the new apps (start is also an app) no longer work. – magicandre1981 – 2015-09-19T05:09:43.837
actually yeah i did and to no avail.... – Blaine – 2015-09-19T06:18:46.337
BUMP trying to update using setup file on windows 10 image – Blaine – 2015-11-01T16:33:49.640
I don't understand what you mean with "setup file on win10 image" – magicandre1981 – 2015-11-01T18:20:17.153
I had an iso , i mounted it ; used the setup.exe on it , updating : update : stuck at 16% searching for updates – Blaine – 2015-11-03T13:10:50.847
disconnect from the Internet before running setup – magicandre1981 – 2015-11-03T17:45:59.013
