I have Windows 10 and I can't left click the windows button, use the windows key, or even right click an application on there. How can I fix this? Resetting has not worked, nor the task manager reset, nor the code typed in cmd. This occured after a restore.

    This is a known issue with windows 10. The easiest route is to restart and see if that changes it. If the behavior is the same after a restart, then there are some features that need to be reinstalled. Try the restart first and if it doesn't fix it, we can go down the other road. – Narzard Apr 11 '16 at 20:34

  • Restarting doesnt help. – user581727 Apr 12 '16 at 00:51
  • This probably won't apply to you but then again it may so it's worth a shot: there is a group policy setting that prevents users from right-clicking on their taskbar. Our orginization has that enabled, and we cannot right-click on our Start Menu, Taskbar, or Desktop, or in Windows Explorer. Is that by chance enabled on your system? – InterLinked Apr 12 '16 at 01:25
