Start menu on my Windows 10 has just packed up, righthand click on that bottom lefthand key brings up a list of properties. Lefthand click brings up up nothing, except earlier today it was bringing up the oldtime desktop list only without the one I wanted on it! Please, any techie able to suggest a cure before I send for professional help? |

Oh yes, rebooted a few times, I was getting it two days ago, yesterday my daughter was trying to instal some photos for me to use as ID and we couldn't get Photo Gallery as the place to install them. She eventually invented a new file to get them on line to use. It was only this morning that I identified the hiccup. I can live temporarily with it, but I would like the start menu back (and all my old photo gallery pictures!) |

Not much consolation to you but I recently bought a new laptop which was supposed to have been converted from Spanish to English and I have had so many problems. |

Do a search for pictures, see what pictures you have are any missing? Photo gallery only brings photos together and doesn't hold them. |

I have photo gallery as a collection, I put them together and they remain in date order. I suppose if it never reappears l can go through all the assembled programmes, Pictures, emails, etc. and pick out and put them in a new programme but it would be an awful chore! I do have access to it through Start so I must focus on getting that back! |

Have you still got the grey box alongside the bottom left-hand windows icon? If you have, try typing in there what it is you are trying to find. |

For the photo gallery, download Windows Essentials from this link: |

OH has been ploughing through the internet. There was an update from Microsoft that seems to have caused problems on some machines and he believes they've pulled it for the time being. He's still looking for info but said to give you what he's found so far. |

I think they all look good Joy, although I do have various photograph apps (is that the right word?) including from my Nikon Camera, and Microsoft. I have Adobe Photoshop Album starter pack, which I will probably uninstall cos I don't use it. |

Jemima, I disregard the word apps and say programmes :) |

Elizabeth, when I am really puzzled I sometimes ask on rootschat (it's free) |

Joy, all programmes have downloaded except for the photos one and the film maker. It said it had a problem. But I already have versions of these so no matter. |

Usually a problem with Windows 10 pre-release. A fresh install with Windows10 retail release is reocmmended. Leave the anniv. update alone it is buggy. |
