    Hello Oldspook,

    Does pressing the Windows Key open the Start Menu for you?

    You can also use this shortcut to restart the computer.

    Hope this helps for now,

    Windows Key does not open Start Menu when the problem present. The start menu failure occurs randomly. I have been watching it for several days now, it usually occurs at least once a day.

    I installed the control system gadget and it works for shutting down system. I can just log off and log back on and the problem is fixed.

    Any ideas what is wrong??

    Has the problem been there ever since Win 7 was installed or did it start later? How was Windows 7 installed (upgrade/clean/etc.)?

    I think the thread has lost focus of the original problem. The start menu not working consistently.

    Win 7 worked properly from instillation (on the release date) to about 5 days ago. Win 7 was a clean install. sfc /scannow ran without any reported errors.

    Oldspook,

    You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated when it everything worked ok may be able to fix this for you. If not, then you can do a repair install.
