Sorry, no, I wasn't there when the guy did the work. We discussed it, and all he said was that the best thing to do was to hope that Build 1809 would overwrite what were probably corrupted files, and that he'd force it to try this out. I guess he either used Windows Update (in Settings) or downloaded an ISO and did it from there (at least, that's what I would have done). In a way, it's the usual PC situation - once it worked, I was so grateful I stopped worrying about it.&nb

In my case, the solution appears to have been to force the installation of a further W10 update (to 1809, which I believe is a fairly substantial upgrade on 1803). This stopped the misbehaviour with startup items failing to load, and the incompatibility of Fences with Windows Explorer. The guy who helped me with this suggested that maybe there was some file corruption in 1803, which had installed for me only a day or so before. Whether this will work for others is difficul

I have the same problem, dating from a W10 update three days ago (now on Winows 10 Pro, Version1803, OS Build 17134.407). I believe the issue rests with Microsoft, since several of my other startup items (e.g. Google Drive Sync) don't now launch automatically either. There does appear to be a conflict now between Fences and Windows Explorer. I've tried uninstall/reinstall of Fences, relaunch of Explorer, sfc scan, don't have Websense etc. The Support Team will be in

As it happens, after a lot of work by Brad and the helpdesk team, it seems that my copies of Windows 10 - both of them! - were corrupted (e.g. sfc scannow didn't fix the problem). That is, the problem was deeper than Start10. I did a clean install on both PCs, and now all the functionality of both Windows 10 and Start10 are back. Bit laborious, but... Steve

I'm presumably doing something dumb - can anyone advise? I installed Windows 10 a few weeks ago (perhaps wish now that I had gone on to a clean install). From the beginning, two of the taskbar icons weren't working (Search, Edge - with this, if I click on it, there is a brief flash on the screen but the application doesn't load). I had upgraded from Start8 to S10, and began to wonder whether that might somehow be the problem. I uninstalled S10 (with Revo)
