Start Button and Search Icon

I accidentally installed 'mystartsearch' and could not remove it, so I restored Windows to the previous day.   This fixed the problem but it has disabled the Start Button and the Search Icon.
I did also run a adware cleanup from http://www.techsupportall.com/how-to-remove-mystartsearch-com-homepage-removal-help/
and this removed a few things but nothing obviously to do with the Start button - I have the log file if necessary.
I can right click the Start Button and that works, but left does nothing.   The Search just does nothing, but I can turn it off again.
How do I re-enable the Start Button?
In fact further testing and none of the apps seem to work.   The calculator just tries to open and disappears again, as does the Feedback app, and the Calendar app.
Can I repair this or will I have to wait for the next release of Win10?

It is possible that you are missing a couple of Windows Updates since you performed a system restore to a previous date.
And, since you cannot use the Start button in order to go to Settings > Update and Recovery, please use this method posted by Inside Hub.................
Start menu
When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

My start button and desk top menu keep relocating themselves to top, and sides, How do I get them back on the botom of the page and keep them there?

When I initialize my start up, and my home page loads, my start button, short cut icons, and desk top menu will move from the bottom where I prefer them, to the top, or left and tight sides, which shortens my home page, or any site I go to. How do I lock them in to the bottom and keep them there. This has just started in the past 2 weeks.

Drag the Taskbar with the Start button to the wanted position and right click that bar the lock it to prevent accidental moving it.

How to handle the "cancel" button and "close" icon of a popup ?

Hi,
I have a popup with "cancel button" and "close icon"(on the top right corner of the popup), I want the same operations to be performed on clicking of any of these two components.
Is there a way to handle such situation ?
I read about 2 cases to look into this but they didn't work too well for me.
1. I read about the "popcancellistener" but that listener is called whenever the popup closes, so suppose I have an "ok button" on the popup to create a record, after the record is created, the popup closes and goes into the "popcancellistener", now the question is "how do we know if it came there because of the 'ok button' or 'some other event'".
2. I even checked the "DialogListener", now I'm able to distinguish between the 'OK' and 'CANCEL' button in the dialoglistener using the "Dialog.Outcome.ok/cancel", but when a user clicks on the close icon, we do not enter the "DialogListener" at all, so in this case "how do we handle the close icon click event"
Do let me know if you need any more information from my side.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The following mechanism responds to any of the following events: <Esc> key, Close icon ('x'), Cancel button
JavaScript part:
function popupClosedListener(event){
              var source = event.getSource();
              var popupId = source.getClientId();
              var params = {};
              params['popupId'] = popupId;
              var type = "serverPopupClosed";
              var immediate = true;
              AdfCustomEvent.queue(source, type, params, immediate);
}JSF part:
         <af:popup ....>
              <af:clientListener method="popupClosedListener"
                                       type="popupClosed"/>
              <af:serverListener type="serverPopupClosed"
                                      method="#{myBean.serverPopupClosedMetod}"/>
        </af:popup>Finally, Java part:
public void serverPopupClosedMetod(ClientEvent event){
}

HT4061 I plugged my phone in and contected it to my home wifi to do an update. Now I can not use the phone at all, I held the start button and the enter button to restore it but all i get is the itunes symbol on the front. Is it possible to retrieve pictu

I just got an Iphone 5, and it requested an update. I plugged it in and connected it to my home wifi and now I can not use it at all. The only thing that shows on the screen is the itunes symbol. I tried to hold the start button and the enter button, but that does nothing. I have pictures and videos on the phone, is there any way to retrieve them?

Plug it into your computer and restore it. It is in recovery mode. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If the pictures and videos were not backed up, then there is no way to retrieve them.

Start Button and notification not working

Good day
I have Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview installed on a HP Pavilion dv6.
I installed “Adobe Dreamweaver CS6” yesterday. I realised that I had the wrong version for the key I have and try to do a Windows System Restore.
The restore complete after the reboot. Now the Start menu does not open when I click on the start button and the “new notification”, next to the time, does also not respond when I click on it.
I did roll forward to the original system restore point with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6installed , but I am still seeing the same issues.
Please advice

Another solution which has worked for some users who have also had issue with the Start Menu and Notifications is to re-register AppX with PowerShell using the following command:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Purple color for Start button and Settings app dissapear shortly after install completes

I have just completed a Reset of the latest win10 build 10041 to see if it would fix the error of all the grey colors. Settings app is grey and the start button is grey. Looks nothing like the screenshots I see on the web.
After install was completed and the desktop showed up, the color on the Start menu had the purple color. After a minute the screen went black with a white square in the top left corner. I pressed the Start button and the desktop was recreated but now the
Start button was back to the grey color.
I experienced exactly the same with the previous builds.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
Could you please share a snapshot with us so we can better understand what happened? Regarding to the "gray", do you mean that it just has been changed to a gray color\usable or the button is totally gray out\unusable?
If it is related to color, then right click the desktop\Personalize\Color, you can change the color as you want.
If not that case, the Settings app is totally unusable, then please Open the
administrative Command Prompt and paste the following command there and hit
Enter key:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml

Peripherals only work if connected at start up and HD icon is a folder

I noticed last week that my HD icon had turned into a folder icon. Audio disks and external HD also pop up as folders. Peripherals work only if plugged @ start up. One day I had no built in audio option and desktop folders were scattered everywhere. Ran DU in target disk mode with another machine.
DU said:
Invalid directory item count
it should be 44 instead of 43
the volume %@ needs to be repaired
Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair.
I did a repair and now when I run DU it says that there are no problems but peripherals still only work if they are plugged in @ start up and HD icon is still a folder.

That doesn't sound too good! Maybe you would need a better disk utility such as DiskWarrior?
One work around when disks are not mounting is putting the computer to sleep, and usually when it wakes up, your disk is there! Doesn't fix the flaw though...

How best to handle a start button and a play-pause toggle button?

Hello,
Still new to AS3, on a project for a client. I'd appreciate advice on how best to handle the navigation for 5 movieclips set inside 5 separate frames on the main timeline. I have a play button on frame 1 to start the animation, but I'd like to include a play/pause toggle button on the other frames to finish the navigation. Everything works except the toggle button, when clicked, does toggle but does not stop the animation. I've copied the code, including the toggle button code on frame 4 below. How best to handle both a start button and a play-pause toggle button?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Frame 1:
PlayBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
stop();
PlayBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startMovie);
function startMovie(event:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
Frame 2:
stop();
Frame 3:
stop();
Frame 4:
RewindBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
RewindBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rewind);
function rewind(e:MouseEvent) {
prevFrame();
FFBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
FFBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,forward);
function forward(e:MouseEvent) {
nextFrame();
ToggleBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
ToggleBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
function doToggle(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
ToggleBtn_mc.play();
Frame 5:
(Loops back to Frame 1)

I can't tell you how appreciative I am of all your assistance.
Could you double-check on this, I may have stumbled upon somthing- I tweaked your last code, which toggled, but didn't seem to call the scene_test_mc into action.
But I copied below what both toggles the play/pause button and calls the mc into action. Could you verify this as reliable code and not a fluke that will break? Thank you so much! :
ToggleBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
ToggleBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
scene_test_mc.buttonMode=true;
scene_test_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doToggle);
function doToggle(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip=MovieClip(myevent.currentTarget);
if(mc.currentFrame==1){
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
scene_test_mc.play();
} else {
mc.gotoAndStop(1);
scene_test_mc.stop();

Win 8.1 Start button and Charms randomly stops working BUG (workaround)

To anyone experiencing this, it is a bug in Win 8.1 which I can replicate at will.
Reinstalling your system as suggested by MS engineers will not fix this.
To force the bug to appear:
1. Grab a desktop Icon (recycle bin, any shortcut) and move this up to the top left hand corner without letting go of the mouse button. Drop shortcut anywhere on desktop. Without an Icon the mouse pointer would initiate the recent apps.
2. To check that the first step has worked, try and invoke charms by moving mouse to top right hand corner. If Charms do not appear then the bug has been triggered.
3. Now move mouse over start button (no click), move away then back again. Now the start button is locked. If you unlock the taskbar you can move it to any other position (top, left or right) and the start button works. Move taskbar back to the
bottom and the start button still does not work. Only way to get it working again is to restart window explorer in task manager.
To avoid this happening all you need to do is disable recent apps corner.
1. Right click desktop.
2. Click Taskbar and Navigation
3. Click Navigation tab in the properties window
4. Uncheck "When I click the upper-left corner, switch between my recent tabs."
Now the bug cannot be triggered as above to make the start button stop working. You have to remove this feature which is pretty hopeless on a desktop anyway. Its better than restarting Window explorer every time.
I can replicate this on any desktop or laptop, fresh install or old. Not sure about any touch screen machines. I can also trigger this in VMPlayer\Virtual Box and the Modern IE VM images that MS provide.
Now the MS engineers can replicate this on their machines, and maybe if we are lucky they will FIX it!!!!
MS please acknowledge that this is a bug.
Maybe the issue is due to the windows button not being redrawn on the screen once triggered as it still works when taskbar is moved (graphic card drivers). Could not find anything use full in the system logs.
Just noticed also that the charms also breaks if you drag an Icon up to the right hand corner. Once triggered Charms stops working, start button is not affected with the above work around configured.
MS please read this and reply.

suspect it is local to your environment.
Others seeing the same symptom. Note that originally I was not using the
Top left hover for thumbnail feature and then also claimed not to see it.
Oh. And here is another factor that someone else is using as a workaround. A link to the first thread I was thinking of can be found in this one

T410, Windows 7--start button and task bar frozen

I have had my new T410 (I7), with Windows 7, for two weeks. This morning I started the laptop and I could access the start button or the program icons on the task button. I called tech support in Atlanta, and was told I had a corrupt operating system and would have to reimage the hard drive which will require backing up my data and, after reimaging, reinstalling my programs and data. Is there any alternative to this royal pain? Bob

urgh, mine started freezing today. I have a T410s. It started off with Access Connections constantly freezing. I don't want to reimage my SSD

Disabling the windows xp start button,and disable ALT+TAB

hi all, i am writing an internet cafe management system, and its required that clients do not access the start button, although it will be visible but will not respond to mouse clicks or keybord events.
And also how do i disable ALT+TAB when my program is running.

Event if using vb.net it won't be happen (i think). Why do you want the client did not access the start menu? if you want the client canot access the control panel, why dont just you hide the control panel menu from start menu? (i dont know how to do that, but maybe a little googling will help). Because yesterday, i go on internet cafe and can only access the Program and Shutdown menu.

I have read articles about uninstall process here.

I want to uninstall firefox because of "can't load xpcom.dll". Help me please.

Are you unhappy with Firefox, or installing a different version?
