How do I get the taskbar back?

The Windows taskbar is the bar at the bottom of the Desktop. The taskbar is conditionally divided into several functional areas

If the taskbar is missing, hurry and tryto roll back the system or reinstall Windows is not worth it: maybe everything can be solved more easily. If only the taskbar is missing on the desktop, and all program shortcuts are in order and gadgets are displayed, then most likely the taskbar can only be hidden.

To restore the taskbar back into place, you need tomove the mouse cursor to the place where it used to be (the standard location is from the bottom of the screen). If the taskbar is not displayed, move the cursor to the top of the screen and to the sides of the screen. You need to do this in order to see if the taskbar has been moved. The mouse cursor should be moved close to the edge of the screen.

How to make it no longer lost

To do this, disable hiding the taskbar. It's simple:

• Click "Start",
• then select "Control Panel"
• in it you need the item "Taskbar and Start Menu".

Or you can just right-clickOn the existing taskbar and in the opened window select the "Properties" item. In the window that opens, you must uncheck the box next to "Automatically hide the taskbar" and click OK.

If the taskbar disappeared when you booted Windows, the cause might be in the corruption of your account settings. Although if you log in to the system in "safe mode", the taskbar will be displayed.

There are several ways to solve the problem, how to return the taskbar?

1. Start Windows in "safe" boot mode. The minimum set of drivers will be loaded. Suddenly, a driver downloaded by some program is the reason that the taskbar is not displayed (as a rule, video card drivers create such a problem). If this proves to be true, you just need to uninstall the driver for these programs.
2. Login to the system using the "administrator" account and create a new user account in the damaged location.
3. If previous methods do not help, you need toperform a system restore. In this case, all damaged Windows files will be replaced by workers, and your personal data and files, as well as the programs you installed, will remain in place.

Features

If you not only do not display the taskbar, but also do not load the desktop (program icons, gadgets, etc.), it means that the process explorer.exe is not running.

To perform it you need:

1. Start the Task Manager. To do this, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
2. Select the "File" menu, and in it select the sub-item "New task (Run ...)".
3. Type explorer.exe in the window that opens and click OK. The desktop and taskbar should return.
