Excellent, thanks very much. In my case, the explorer. Thanks again. Hi Leo, I tried everything I can to follow your advice here but not seems working on my computer. What else should I do? Thank you so much Leo. It was fixed in less than 30 seconds!!!
Last week my computer got some malware and it was a nightmare. I thought that it was back!! I just installed Firefox last night. My tool bar across the top is gone, the File Menu that lists Save, send, print, etc is missing. Arl, Just hold down the Alt key for a second and it will pop up. Seems odd to have it hidden that way until you get used to it. My explorer kept crashing and leaving me without a start button or any windows.
I had an not responding explorer. Run cmd. When it asks if you want to execute, type Y and hit enter. I understand it was a simple task, and even as someone who knows my way around an OS, this is absolutely the only solution that actually solved anything for me, whether it was from Microsoft, or users.
I wanted to thank you for the help, even though this is an old answer, and it worked on Windows 8 for me. Thank you very much, Chaz. After you have ended the explorer. This should bring up the taskbar also. I suddenly started getting the same problem about two days ago. When I start my laptop the taskbar is there, but as soon as I start IE 11, it goes totally full screen and covers everything.
I figured the problem was in IE Tried looking for some settings but found nothing relevant. Decided to just hit the maximize button so I could grab and drag the edges of the four sides of the window. Dragged them to the best fit and exited IE Restarted IE11 and it did not smother the taskbar anymore. Hope this helps. When I lose everything like that all I do is tap the F11 key once.
Everything comes back instantly. I have spent several hours trying to get my toolbar,taskbar,Start button,et. All I had was a blank white page…. I have been writing down anything that might work…. Have been writing since about a. I was afraid to let your page go without having all the info at hand in case,I could not return to it! Sorry, for being so long winded but I would like to thank you,Leo,and all the people who took the time to add their own solutions in your comment section.
Am so glad I found you. Now,I will make sure that You do not disappear on me,too! Thank you! Good lesson in much needed computer literacy! So, to add another solution I will start with the fact that I have two monitors, but the one the right was OFF.
Somebody moved the taskbar on the right side. There is no way to see the taskbar. That actually sounds like a video driver problem. I made my windows taskbar dissappear like this: I wanted to record a gameplay of a game, but the taskbar was in the way, so I gave the order to let the taskbar automatically dissappear in the corner. It would only appear if you go to that corner with your mouse and it slides back into vision. It was blocked for some reason.
That lead me to this page but there was no sollution for my problem. Everything is back to normal. So if somebody had this problem which I just described in my best english possible, there is a sollution even for that! Greetings, Vantazzy! Sounds like the malware damaged your windows installation. Have you ever had multiple monitors set up on that computer?
It sounds like the Taskbar may have been moved to a monitor that is no longer connected. If you see the Multiple Displays options there, select the drop down menu and click the Show Desktop only on 1 option. Thank you soo much Leo! Your solution has help me a lot. Thanks a bunch. God bless you buddy. Again thanks a bunch!!!! Just fixed on my win7 laptop.
Found the fix fairly easy. The taskbar was missing and whenever i ran start explorer. THEN run start explorer. This should make your taskbar appear again.
This happened to be — the taskbar disappeared on an Alienware Windows 8 computer a week after I got it when an automatic update was made. I simply went to the white desktop button at the bottom left of the computer screen, clicked it once. When the Windows screen came up that lists all the programs and apps, I went to the icon that looks like a little magnifying glass the search tool and wrote: explorer. The screen turned green, then my taskbar reappeared.
I had this issue when I installed a dual monitor video card in my Optiplex I fixed it by changing the 4th entry in the screen resolution dialogue for Multiple Displays so that it had the Show desktop only on 1 selected.
This worked! I was so relieved when I realized, all I had done was accidentally closed out the program on task manager when I was trying to kill an unresponsive page. I was glad to have it fixed, I rate this article 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes to play around with their settings. Hello from the Island of Malta in Europe.
BTW: I listen to your podcast while driving along with the network of podcasts. Was searching for a solution. I also found the following link useful. I was just about to fly out to give a presentation and all my desktop icons and my taskbar vanished. Luckily still had a web browser open and found your suggestion via a google search. Instantly fixed everything! Heading to airport with full intention of nominating you for sainthood, sir. Not sure if this will help anyone but my granddaughter was banging on my daughters windows 7 laptop keyboard and her task bar completely disappeared.
I tried to no avail, all the above. But when I restarted the laptop and her login came up I noticed her user name and the change user button. So having clicked her user name before and the task bar was still missing I decided to hit the change user button and low and behold her desktop came up task bar, start menu and all. I restarded windows explorer and it just came back with the things that were pinned to it still pinned to it. Windows Explorer in Win 10 Pro hung.
I opened task manager and ended it with the intention of running it manually, but the Start button and task bar disappeared. No way to run Explorer manually came to mind. A search quickly turned up this page and your solution worked perfectly. You installed a Windows 11 thing on Windows 7? The idea is to unpin all tiles that you see on the right-side of the Start to get the clean but functional Start menu. And if you want to make your Windows 10 Start menu look identical to Windows 7 Start menu, please skip to Method 2.
Step 2: Right-click on all app tiles on the right-side of the Start menu one-by-one and then click Unpin from Start option.
