    Start Button


    Anyone else noticed that the Start Button occasionally stops functioning correctly and that a log-off or reboot is required to restore its operational status?

    No problems with anything? I thought I would get bsod and reboots/ crashes. This is most unusual for me?
    I can only put the reliability down to a new ssd drive?!

    There are quite a few things including the start menu that randomly freeze and/or stop functioning requiring a reboot, yes. Buggy build is buggy.

    Haven't had any problems with the Start button. But when my mouse hits the left side of the screen, everything freezes. Usually lasts for about 15 seconds, sometimes longer.

    Hmm no issues on this end other than an occasional Bsod or lockup in the beginning. But I came to realize it was the Nvidia video card installed in the system. Downloading and installing the 64bit 7 driver for the card ceased that altogether.

    I guess I'll consider myself fortunate and shut up, before I curse myself .

    I downloaded something called classic start menu and it fixed it... But try going to the bottom left corner of the start icon. Does that help at all?
