windows bottom

I ran windows updates and restarted my computer.

Now I see nothing below the icons of Windows.

There used to be a "Start button" now there is none and I can't turn-off unless I just punch the botton on the tower as far as I know (I am afraid to try because I generally get an "un-natural termination" message. Also at the bottom of the screen there used to be a list of things on the right side, and then the time. These are missing too? As a last thing, before when looking at a file and then looking at anothere file without closing the first one there would be a box at the bottom of the screes for the 'inactive' file. These are gone now. ?? What am I doing ? How do I get these things back?

if you move the mouse cursor to the very bottom of your screen, does the missing taskbar then re-appear ?

If it does not automatically appear this way (from auto-hide), does it seem to be hidden down there? Can you right-click, and drag it up one notch?

If that does not do it, can you at least reboot using Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

If not, can you get into Safe Mode ?

- by holding down the F8 key as you boot up the PC

Not on all computers. This worked on my old one, but on this one it is F5. F8 takes me to a choice of boot disk, hard drive or CD ROM. :D
