Charm Bar Not Working On Iphone

Hi guys, this is an issue that has been bugging me for a while now.
Basically, randomly and following no specific action the start button, charms bar and hot corners stop working. They do not appear at all, and the start button becomes unclickable.
Physical button combinations do make them appear though.
This is happening on my main desktop PC (Non-touch), freshly installed Windows 8.1.
It's happening on my surface RT and laptop PC as well. It does not matter how many times I format, reinstall or uninstall apps, the bug is still there. Weird for it to happen on the surface RT too. I'm starting to think it's a bug in the OS itself and it's my usage pattern that triggers it. Nevertheless, it's annoying.
The only way to restore proper functionality is to restart explorer.exe (or to reboot).
I hope somebody has a clue.
Just to be clear: this is happening on a fresh install both on my desktop and laptop. They share NO drivers at all so I'm ruling them out. As I said earlier, it seems like my surface RT is affected too (mostly when I use my mouse) but I can't really say for sure as I don't use it with mouse/keyb that often.
Thanks for your help.

The Windows 10 Search bar and Cortana have indeed negated the need for a search feature in the Charms bar but that particular search wasn’t just a system-wide search feature. It was also context sensitive search and that’s what’s missing even from the Notification Center. Context search for apps has not disappeared, it’s just moved. The charms are not showing when poiting top right corner! The charms are not showing when poiting top right corner! Charm Bar is one of the items Microsoft have decided to eliminate in Windows 10 TP because of the out-cry from Windows 8 users. The only way to see the so-called charm bar is to press Windows key + C. This 'elimination ' started in the.

I received my Pro yesterday and upon my first restart updates were available... cool right. Now my charms bar is no longer accessible using touch. I have to use the mouse in the top right corner. When I swipe in from any other edge, the swipe works as expected. Any one else having this issue? Any one have solutions?

EDIT 2: Reinstalled the updates and the charms bar works... like a charm! (couldnt help myself). IMPORTANT: This process deletes all windows desktop applications but does not mess with your files or windows store apps. to clarify, aAny app downloaded from the windows store is unaffected. Re-installing all of my programs now... it is a huge pain... but it works now!
