Lately my laptop has been running slow and then all of the sudden the Start Menu (bottom left corner) and Search Bar aren't working. I've tried restarting my computer different ways and updating drivers but nothing seems to work.

@ATorres8 -- if you press the "Windows" key (bottom-left-corner of your keyboard, does the Start Menu appear on your screen?

 

Did you accidentally switch your computer to "tablet" mode? 

There is a pop-up in the bottom-right corner of your screen that can enable/disable this mode.

@Itsmyname the "Windows" button didn't work, however on the pop up bar there was an update I hadn't noticed before and it fixed everything. Thank you!!
