Explorer using 50% - No Start Menu - Vista

[leachim]

Left clicking the Start Menu doesn't do anything. It works the first time you try it, then nothing.

 

Pressing Windows Key, the same

 

Explorer.exe running at 50%

 

Other users on the computer have no trouble

 

Done sfc scan - found error which promised to fix on restart

 

Normal left clicking elsewhere is OK

 

Have run Malwarebytes

 

Any help appreciated

Restart explorer process. Does it work now? Is this a common issue?

[leachim]

Have ended Explorer.exe in Task Manager, so that it restarts automatically, but that isn't happening

Any recent updates gone on it or has this just happended today?

Actually, have you tried doing a system restore to some point last week yet?

I have often found this a good quick fix for 'random' problems.

[leachim]

Didn't consider it, but have done a few improvements recently - new MS antivirus - uninstalled some progs - cleanup of temp files etc, so didn't want to necessarily undo good stuff I have done

Ha

 

Damn thing seems to be ok now ???

 

Although above where it says All Programs" when you click on Start, it is blank white

 

There should be Internet Explorer, Email and recent program links here ??
