HP 255 G4: Start Menu
Hello
I just bought this laptop when I opened it shows me just the start menu. Is this normal? I don't know what to do.
Should I return it?
Thank you!
Hello
When you first turn on the power, the laptop must be run through the initial configuration.
My best advice because this is a whole new machine, would be to return it to the retailer and get a replacement.
Kind regards

If I have Thunderbird up and then I put windows in sleep mode, when I come back once again, the start menu in Windows 10 appears automatically (can someone tell me how to stop this?). If I click anywhere on the screen menu start disappears and everything works fine, but if I forget to do it and for example, double-click on an email to open it, Thunderbird and then freezes. If I close Thunderbird and re-open he, she, then it brings up the email that I had clicked on, so he must have tried to open it while it was frozen.
This isn't a big problem, just annoying bloom. Don't know if it's a problem of Windows 10 or Thunderbird. If someone can tell me how to stop start menu from popping up automatically, it wouldn't solve the problem, but it would be at least!Version 38.3.0 is now available. Resolve the problem?

My computer is Windows 7-64 bit.
I recently installed the Moon pale x 64 on the right site.
Everything works fine, except that the "icon" of the particles in the taskbar and start menu is not the blue moon. I wonder why this is and how I can change it.
This occurred during the installation of the particles.Best is to ask PaleMoon support about it.
http://Forum.Palemoon.org/PaleMoon is not an official project of Mozilla, is a 3rd generation of part 'Community' that is "powered by Mozilla".

He said: "The problem with the shortcut" do not know how this happen or why and do not know how to fix it. Help, please.
Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
I read your post on Start menu problems launching apps and wanted to help.As test, open one of the shortcuts on the desktop by right-clicking on it and choosing Properties.
There is a box of the target, and there you will see the full path to the program file. The file name must end with ".exe" write the full path to the bottom.
Then open Windows Explorer, and using the information that you noted, navigate to the folder that contains this file.
When you find the file, double click it and see if it starts.
If so, the shortcut is "broken" and you need to replace it. To do this, a right-click on the same file again and you should be the ability to create a shortcut. Once created, drag that shortcut to your desktop.
If the file does not launch, it probably means that it is corrupt.
Try this with several other files. If all fail, it means that you have file system corruption.
And I think at this point there would be that your hard drive has failed - due to age and wear.
Because it is almost impossible to find even XP these days, you will have to seriously consider replacing this PC with something more recent.
Sorry, but the PC does not last forever.
Good luck

HP Envy23: Start Menu button does not work
The Start Menu button has suddenly become unusable. The Home icon has been replaced by a sheet with the icon corner folded, and in a hurry, I get a message saying "the drive or network connection that designates the shortcut"Start Menu.Ink"is not available." Tried a couple of these corrections online and made sure everything is up to date. Everything works well, except for this menu. Any suggestions?

Afterwords to test and see if the normal is restored. If this isn't the case, then try the reset method described in my first link.

What happened to my show desktop icon in the Quick Start menu when I upgraded to Firefox 4?
I value and often use the button SHOW DESKTOP which has always been in my QUICK START MENU... until I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox because he promised to be faster (and my experience online in spite of paying for "high speed" is anything but fast!). I see that the icon was not just moved but DELETED and I'm not at all happy about it. What happened and how I get it back? Thank you. (By the way, I don't want a fancy with a bunch of words irritable instructions. I need the answer in a format that can follow a student of 1st year. (Thank you.)
You can create a new shortcut easily enough. Just drag it into the Quick Launch bar on with the right mouse button and then choose "Create shortcut here" from the menu you get.

Two problems:
1. when I said Firefox 4 to return to the default toolbar, he returned to v. 3. I reinstalled v. 4, but that did not help.
2. I tried to open it in safe mode and discovered that there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in my Start menu.
I'm the home runnint Windows 7, 64-bit.
1.
The orange Firefox button appears when the menu bar is hidden. Turn off Bar Menu item in view > toolbars or from the context menu for toolbars.2.
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox to open it again. -
How to get removed from the start menu programs?
Hello
I stupidly deleted my file of all programs on the start menu (by chance).
He emptied the folder programs on the start menu through Explorer windows as well.I still have access to all of my programs seeking for them or through the program files. How can I rebuild my Start menu to the original WITHOUT reinstalling windows or something like that.
Unfortunately, I can't do a restore because it is configured to do a clean up of all old restore points, and he did it about 5 minutes before the problem occurred.
PLEASE HELP ME!

HP Pavilion 6510: Start Menu Shut Down tab always indicates that the updates are available
The Shut Down on the start menu tab always indicates that there ae updates available. This persists even after manually searching for and downloading updates.
Then Microsoft Fixit has been executed, the computer has restarted, and 5 updates have been installed. But the start menu still indicates that there are updates available.
This could be the cause?
How this should be dealt with?
Is there some updates that aren't installed properly, and if so this could affect the security of the computer?

How to access the start menu? F10 is ignored. ESC is ignored.
I have a HPE175z running a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. I want to change the startup parameters. When the system boots, the screen tells me that < F10 > give me access to the configuration. F10 is completely ignored. A message tells me later < ESC > will give me access to the Start Menu. < ESC > is also ignored. Similarly, I have try all the keys are ignored - nothing interrupts the boot sequence. How can I access the start menu?
The problem is that no key during the boot stopped the boot process and allowing me to enter the installation or startup configuration. I swapped keyboards and the problem disappeared. Apparently, the keyboard did not have during the boot sequence.
Thanks to all those who had a suggestion.
