Product: hp
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

When I click the windows icon at the bottom of the screen my installed apps no longer show up,the area is blank. I used to get my most used apps at the top and the rest in alphabetical order. I can't access my e-mail or any windows apps(notebook,office,etc) It worked fine before,all of a sudden nothing. It's windows 10. Any thoughts on what I might do to get the thing working again? Thanks for any help. I'm s not real computer literate but usually figure out instructions if they aren't too technical.

@Mik789fla,

Did you accidently press the Task View Icon on the Task Bar.  That would blank the screen icons.

Personally I like "Classic Shell". 

It will mimic WIN 7 start menu, and also has an APPS pull-down.
