    1.) Please Run sfc /scan now using option 2 in this tutorial: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Please post back the results.


    2.) You may have programs running at startup that is causing this issue. Please see this tutorial to temporary disable them and see if the issue is resolved:

    Please follow Andrew's suggestion first. That might solve the issue.

    I'm not sure understand the 1st issue (task bar automatically goes to top when clicked) - the screen shot shows the task bar at the bottom.

    I've had the 2nd issue (right click menu under taskbar). I forget exactly what solved it, but try:
    Right click the start menu orb
    select properties
    press the Task bar tab
    set the following options
    Taskbar location on screen: Bottom
    Taskbar buttons: Always combine, hide labels
    press apply, and ok out of the property window.

    So what were the results of sfc scan?

    That did not work does not tell me anything.

    We can't force you to help us.

    You either do or you don't. Your choice.

    Saying vaguely "it did not work" does not help.
