Windows 10: Windows 10 Task bar with only a centered Windows logo.

Hello,

Sometimes - probably my me accidentally hitting a hotkey - the Windows 10 task bar disappears and a new bar shows up with only the Windows 10 logo on it.?




I have 3 monitors hookup to a NVidia card utilizing NVidia Surround.., maybe NVidia has something to do this this (drivers, settings, etc)? The only way I can get rid of this new bar and receive that normal one is by rebooting. Currently this bar shows up about 2 times a day, more if I work a lot. I use a lot of editors with hotkeys and since i'm human my accuracy is not 100% so i'm probably triggering this by accident.


Can someone PLEASE tell me what this feature is suppose to be and how to disable it.?


Thanks in advanced on any help on this.!

Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?

Using Windows 10 and currently I am using Defender for anti virus. For whatever reason Windows Defender does not show up in the task bar unless I search for the program or right click and scan a file/folder. Is there a way to force Defender to show up in the task bar at start up?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Throttlestop obsidian not showing readouts in task bar

Hello

I had the previous version of throttlestop installed on a surface pro running windows 10 and it was working beautifully but now I am having trouble getting throttlestop to show temp/cpu reporting in the windows task bar. I have 'Task Bar' checked in the main window but still nothing appears. The check boxes within Options for Notification Area such as CPU Temp and CPU Mhz do not respond when clicked. Am i missing something/is there something else I need to do in order to get throttlestop obsidian to report to the task bar?


Thanks so much!
