Windows not loading properly - Start menu doesn't pop up, taskbar is bugging a lot and some basic functions don't work
It's my second fresh Windows 10 installation and this is starting to happen again. I've had this problem a couple of times already: soemtimes when I turn my PC on, Windows loads as normal, but as soon as I put my password and enter the Desktop, I can see that some things aren't working as they should. The start menu doesn't pop up (I've tried on-screen keyboard, different keyboards, disabling gaming mode, etc.), not even when I click it in the task bar. Besides that, hovering the mouse and clicking on the taskbar's active applications doesn't make them come up or open, I need to ALT+TAB for that to happen. Also, there's some problems with the keyboard and mouse inputs, I feel that they're different in some way.
All of that goes away if I restart windows. Everyday when I turn it on, I do a quick check for this bug repeatedly tapping the Windows key, and if the start menu doesn't come up, I know it's time to restart the PC and hope that this doesn't happen again.
Does anyone know what this can be and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance.
