I have a Lenovo Y-40 laptop.

I recently upgraded to Windows 10. After about 10-15 minutes after logging in, my taskbar is unresponsive. I can open the apps pinned to my taskbar, but the windows search bar, wifi button, speaker button, action center, and date/time/calendar buttons are unresponsive. The only way I can circumvent this issue is to restart the computer every 20 minutes or so..

What can I do to fix this, without reinstalling windows 10. I had windows 10 on this same laptop a while back and encountered the same issue quite frequently.
