Windows 10: Finding my taskbar

Hi there I've had this problem for a few hours where my taskbar has disappeared with no trace of it. I try using windows keys but my windows keys don't work, I try going to taskmanager and i don't see explorer there. I can't open up cmds or do Win + r or W + I. I tried doing a backup from before this occurred and i still don't have my taskbar. I can't even right click on my desktop because my display settings and personalisation cannot be reached because I need to fix it on settings but I can't get to settings. Please can somebody help me because this is just a total nightmare to deal with.

:)

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.

 

how to effectively hide or disable the taskbar?

Hi,



Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

• Right click on Taskbar.
• Click on Properties
• Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
• Click on OK.

Hope this information helps.
