Guild Wars 2

Hello folks.
I have a strange issue. The last few days I’ve noticed that my start menu seems unresponsive. If I press the start menu key, the complete menu shows up, but no icon works.

After a lot of investigation I think I’ve nailed it down to when GW2 is running. If I exit GW2, start menu resumes working again.

Anyone else seen this, and/or have any hints?

Thanks

Are you running the game in windowed mode (full screen), or full screen? Usually works much better in windowed mode for every game I have played.

Yes, I do run windowed fullscreen, that seems to be the best option for me so I can use other monitor for wiki and other nice stuff.

this is an issue that can happen sometimes after a windows update. the quickest and easiest way to fix this problem is by following the “reinstall windows apps” option at this link, using powershell http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/computing/has-your-windows-10-start-menu-stopped-working-here-are-four-ways-to-fix-it-11364000314532

just follow the instructions regarding copying and pasting a command in to powershell (about half way down the page), and leave it to do it’s thing for a few minutes – after the process completes, the start menu should be fully working

Ah yes, I should have mentioned that I’ve gone through the “usual” recovery procedures, including this one.

Thanks for trying to help though
