How do I get my start button to function again
Hi All, Oh now this is annoying! Playing around with the 10 preview release I decided to run M$ Updates. It installed KB3034229. After rebooting, I noticed that if I clicked on the start button or pressed the win key, instead of popping up the start menu, I got the search bar to the side in the task bar (I had turned the search bar off, now I got it back). Removing the KB did not get my start pop up back. Any idea how to fix this? Many thanks, -T |

Lost everything I had previously installed, but that wasn't much |

Once you do Search, the box remains (and in the way if there are any Recently Added apps and on the All Apps page) until you reboot. Going full screen on the Start menu at least gets it out of the way on the first screen, but not at the bottom of All Apps. I'm not liking this new feature too much either. Overall, I think Win10 is OK, but I'd like to see this fixed before the final release. -- SC Tom |
