Hello everybody,

I was hoping to get some help here, somehow my windows button and search button in the taskbar are not responding/not working

Windows button = slow, it opens after 1 second.
Search button = not working at all.

When i click on the windows button and then just type something nothing happens either, it was before.

Thanks you in advance and greetings,
Dagmar

Hi holdum & others,

Thanks for you replie!
Somehow, after a AMD update it works good again, strange enough..

Maybe it had something to do with Visuals or somesort.

Good for you! Thanks for the feed back. Come back and see us often!
Some times we just have to except the fact that computers were built to annoy us and they love confusing us and doing strange things.😉
