I cant click any icon on taskbar and if I want to click any of them I have to press windows key and I have 5 seconds to do what I want and then it goes back to not responding. I tried restarting windows explorer, it same as windows key you have to do it every 5 seconds, I went in registry and checked if Shell value was explorer.exe and it was. Also if I try to run World of Tanks or torrent they stay in task manager but they dont show up. Other game launchers work well War Thunder, swtor.
 
There are occasional glitches where the task bar stops responding, and usually restarting will fix them.

If a full reboot doesn't work, post a screenshot of all the programs running (using task manager's detail tab or autorun) to see if there's something fishy.
