Question Please help before I loose my mind lol

[Marshall W]

I just noticed after logging into my PC today that my task bar won't work what so ever, I click anything like the sound and windows icon, it shows loading and does nothing, I believe I tried everything and no luck, I'm honestly at a loss of words and am getting very frustrated, thanks for anyone who can give me some input!

Do you have any System Restore points available? They may or may not help, but typically worth a try.

Do you have a system backup such as might be made with an imaging tool such as Macrium? If yes, you could restore to a prior state within a half hour or so rather than spend a half hour or more troubleshooting.......this assumes the image was made before the problem appeared.

Does it happen in safe mode?

1. go to settings/update & security/recovery
   
2. under advanced startup, click restart now button
   
3. this restarts PC in a blue menu
   
4. choose troubleshoot
   
5. choose advanced
   
6. choose startup options
   
7. click the restart button
   
8. choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
   
9. Pc will restart and load safe mode

Run SFC command and let's see if it helps. More details about it here.

I tried it in safe mode and the problem still persist unfortunately

what are specs of the PC?
if it happens in safe mode, it could be hardware causing the slowdown.
