Hello,

In Windows 10, the shutdown button (Windows icon in the bottom left) is not working anymore (it turns blue when you hover the cursor over it, but clicking does nothing), and the WiFi/sound/battery icons in the bottom right taskbar have disappeared.
Everything else works fine, except that to shut down I have to cut the power.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

Jean

    Good evening,

    Try these methods:
    • try a simple restart:

    When you are in your session do:
    - Ctrl + ALT + Delete
    From there, hold down the SHIFT key until the end of the procedure. (SHIFT is the up arrow key (sometimes: Num Lock or Caps Lock), at the bottom left of the keyboard)
    - Click on the power button at the bottom right of the screen, click on "restart"
    • Press CTRL ALT DELETE at the same time.

    Left-click on Task Manager.
    Left-click on "File", then "Run new task"
    In the box write: PowerShell (don't forget to check "Create this task with administrative privileges.").
    Once PowerShell has launched, enter the following code: (copy/paste this command)

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

    Wait until PowerShell finishes the configuration, this may take a few minutes (if you can type, it means the configuration is complete).
    Restart once the configuration is complete
    • or: The recycle bin on the desktop remains accessible. Click on it. You will enter the explorer.

    Right-click on "This PC", then properties.
    You will enter the control panel. Click on "System Protection", and go to the "System Restore" tab.

      The first solution was the right one: restart commanded by the button at the bottom right on the panel obtained by ALT+CTRL.SHIFT.
      THANK YOU.
