I'm having trouble interacting with the Windows Start Menu and task bar—can't click anything, even with the Windows key. It seems like opening settings via a command is necessary. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
To launch Task Manager, right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager. In the process list, scroll until you see START, click it to highlight, then click START to begin. The task should refresh automatically, and the start menu should function properly. End Task if problems appear—it typically resolves them.
Restarting the PC or performing a simple restart is recommended.
