Lulu123 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Was there a Windows update or something that has caused my taskbar/toolbar to disappear? I can only see them if I poke around the general area and they reappear. I checked to ensure I've permanently pinned them (in control panel) and that isn't the problem. Help!

Alan2273 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 In the Taskbar and Start Menu properties is Autohide ticked, if it is take the tick out then click Apply then Ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulu123 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thank you both for replying.Nope. The Autohide was not ticked. Is there anything else I can do? I can't understand why it would have changed on its own. I don't fool around with my settings and no one else uses my computer. The change must have come in on an update. Anyone else experience this recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else experience this recently?I personally haven't had any ill gains from updates,and I have my updates set at full auto.(Fingers are crossed!)Do you happen to have any backup images laying around collecting dust by chance?If not,what about using system restore to try to undo this unacceptable behavior? You may try to Autohide the taskbar.Reboot.Untick Autohide.Reboot.It may or may not work but it's worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu123 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Bludgard...YOU were right. I clicked the Autohide box pressed apply then unclicked and pressed apply. Then I shut down my computer and went to bed. This morning everything is there! Why that worked I'll never know. Thank you very much.

bludgard Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 You are most welcome.Glad you got it sorted.It would seem that Windows has so much going on that things must by necessity go awry sometimes. EDIT:Ever thought about creating System Images to recover from in case a more insidious issue occurs?;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
