New means warranty. There are way too reasons for this to happen from a rogue app, malware and installing an old app. Sometimes we just need to reboot or try another account on the PC.
I just got a new PC and it has Windows 10. The first day I put it all together, it worked great for a while. Then all of a sudden the programs, apps, operating systems, settings, etc...... when I tried to open them, went to the task bar. It would not open from there. It would show they were open on the task bar if I clicked on it but would not show on the desktop. I tried creating another desktop and it would not show there either. I tried getting the command prompt to run and it would not open either. It would only go to the task bar. Every single thing i clicked on to open would be sent to the task bar but yet would not open from there. HELP PLEASE!!
