Hello,
I have a small problem with my laptop. Since the W10 update, the start menu keeps opening by itself (at least ten times a day).
Not very cool when I'm watching a movie in full screen or even playing a game (which results in a lovely return to the desktop right in the middle of a game...)
I've cleaned the keyboard twice, but nothing works.
Thank you for any possible replies!

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 41.0

2 other solutions:
right-click on the start button
run
type msconfig and then ok
services tab
check the box at the bottom: hide Microsoft services
apply ok and restart

or:
right-click on the start button
search
type powershell
then right-click on Windows PowerShell and run as administrator
Paste the following command into the Administrator: Windows PowerShell window and press the Enter key:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Wait for PowerShell to finish. Ignore any errors (in red) that may arise.
restart your computer

try this
1. Right-click on the Start button and select Command Prompt (admin)
2. Enter powershell and then hit Enter
3. Paste the following command into the Powershell window and then hit Enter

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Wait for the process to complete
it's almost the same as before
skip the first word
try to see
restart

No, definitely, when it doesn't want to, it doesn't want to!
On top of that, I have an error message that says "access denied" (it's not for lack of having copied the cmd lines correctly...)

decidedly:
try simply restarting in safe mode, sometimes it works.

When you are on your session do:
- Ctrl + ALT + Delete
From there, hold the SHIFT key until the end of the procedure. (SHIFT is the up arrow button, located at the bottom left of the keyboard)
- Click the power button at the bottom right of the screen, click "restart"
you are now on a blue page
release the SHIFT button
click on choose an option
troubleshoot

settings
restart (at the bottom of the window)
choose f4 (safe mode)
let windows load
once on the desktop the icons will be bigger
restart
try now

try this to start:

Turn off Windows 10.
Remove the battery
restart on mains power
Once under W10, cut the mains power
the PC is off.
reconnect the power and restart
