My system updated Windows 10 the other night. Since then, I cannot use Edge - when I place the cursor over the icon nothing happens, nor when I right-click over it - no menu pops up. Worse still, when I click on the windows icon in the bottom left corner of the screen, nothing happens, so I can't get into settings, apps etc. I have run the sfc/scan and no difference. Fortunately Chrome still works fine (so far!). I can't enter anything in the box "search the web and Windows", if I click on the little briefcase icon nothing happens, but Office 2010 works and I can access Office 365 through Chrome. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix the problems? I am not a techie but reasonably savvy! Thanks in anticipation.

My suggestion would be to perform and in-place upgrade repair. That is to say...... upgrade it again, overtop of itself from within your current install, just double click setup.exe in the installation media. Just be sure to check the little box to get updates as part of the upgrade process.
That will generally keep all your programs, data, drivers and such safe, but.....
I would still create a disk image before going forward.
