Start Menu and Task Bar stop working on Windows 10 FIXED!

Is your Windows 10 Computer giving you fits?
If your start menu and/or task bar have stopped working, it's frustrating just using your computer. You can't see your programs that you have minimized. You can't use the start menu to restart the computer. You can't see the clock. ARGH!
Before I found this fix, I had to create a new account and move files. OR if that didn't work, I had to reinstall windows completely.

Luckily, I found this fix today:

a.       On your keyboard there is a windows key (between CTRL and ALT) hit windows key + R. In the run box, type devmgmt.msc. This opens the device manager.
b.    Look for the category called Security Devices, click on the > next to it to expand the folder. You should see Microsoft’s TPM driver, called “Trusted Platform Module”, right click on it and select update.
c.  If the most current driver is installed--> right click on Trusted Platform Module and uninstall.
d. Restart computer.
e. The driver will reinstall itself and the start menu and task bar will be working again.
