Have you tried, start, programs, my compouter, printers and fax, view my printer. When the printer icon appears, drag it to the desktop. But I was able to fix the problem by minimizing an open window and watching the direction it moves in as it minimizes. I dragged the cursor over to that side and sure enough the task bar reappeared and could be repositioned at the bottom. This has been happening for little over a week.
I tried the task manager thing, but nothing happened. We had a virus so we ran anti-virus and when we did it all dissapeared as did the icons. Its bheen a month and this is the only place i found the answer. Then I kept looking through my google hits page and found an article at Windows Annoyances that said I needed to close all visible Explorer windows first. So I did Alt-Tab enough times to get to each explorer window and closed them all. If not, it turns itself into a taskbar window at the bottom of the screen, otherwise it opens an ordinary explorer window displaying My Documents.
Clever behaviour in a program, but confusing for us humans. None of your suggestions worked, but it was a learning experience trying them. I finally got fed up that under normal bootup I had no mouse or keyboard control. Ctrl-Esc and Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing. I got so fed up after multiple reinstalls, etc. And then from the edge of the screen, the mouse pointer appeared. Was this computer setup with 2 monitors?
Safe mode was coming up fine, but the extended desktop was on and the monitors were switched. I moved my test monitor to the other monitor port and there was my desktop. Back in business!
Thank you Thank you Thank you! My task bar disappeared on Sunday and I have gone through every program, document, and internet assist site that I could find! I finally stumbled upon this site and am so relieved!!! Thanks so much for your assistance I had no idea how i could bring my taskbar back and the situation was getting out of hand until i consulted with your website.
I had something similar just now. After minimizing an individual window inside of Adobe Acrobat that was stretched across two unequal sized screens, the whole program window disappeared as well. The Taskbar disappeared as wel. Popped back up.
Then go to the Processes and scroll down…. When I unchecked it, the task bar came back. The cause of this problem for me was the computer thinking I had two monitors installed. I believe that this happened because I had used a utility that created multiple virtual desktops. This page was very helpful to me in identifying the problem. If you have two screens, you might accidentally drag your taskbar into the other screen.
To get it back. Posted by: Richie at July 27, AM. Whenever i maximize a screen, the task bar disappears. So i have to make the screen smaller again to see it.
Any button i can press ect. Hi, i downloaded a media file about a week ago and had to ask for a codec file, I have AVG running and nothing was alerted, however I seem to have picked up a virus which has completely taken away my desktop icons and toolbar. I have to use Task manager to do anything and I have scanned the computer umpteen times, the AVG finds items but cant do anything with them, including a file called a. Im at a loss, any help much appreciated. Made a new string there named explorer, with the value of C:Windowsexplorer.
I tried all the above… no avail. Ours was a different kind of problem. Maybe yours changed by accident or by the gamers in your family. I have fought the missing task bar for months, tried everything! Finally got it fixed, go to the following website:. Something to add to your list of things to try. After closing the Explorer that I just started I noticed in my task list which was sorted by task name that there was still an Explorer running.
With very little to loose I killed it, and than started another Explorer, and I got my Task bar back! Just had a histerical call from a user about this.
He said his task bar was missing but he was on dual monitors and his second monitor which had his taskbar was turned off. I just installed the latest updates using Windows 7 and this is happening every time my PC goes to sleep. Should I try to do a scan? Any idea why it does this? Thanks for your help. God bless you in these End of Days. Once it does you can then change this switch back to whatever you like. I tried the articles way of trying to fix it, although, when I read the comments, someone mentioned that the computer might think 2 monitors are installed, and the task bar is on the other monitor.
Lol Though that was my problem. Silly not-so-technology-savvy-parents. I have been messing with this computer I just reimaged for about an hour and a half.
The problem started after I installed the video card driver and service pack 2. I thought it was a problem with the install. I installed SP3 and still no Task Bar. I read the comments and saw that it might think there are two monitors. That was it ;? Thanks Sigourney…for making me feel like a noob.
A month of hassel for a one minute fix. Please add this soultion to your page please. Went into control panel, display, settings, and then highlighted a second monitor that was listed. Clicked ok and the taskbar appeared. Hope this helps someone! For a week I had a similar problem with both my task bar and desktop icons disappearing.
Everything was ok operating in Safe Mode. Not sure if the same for others but my problem was that in display properties multiple displays was selected but make this main display not selected. It appears, I am not sure what was triggering it, that the task bar and icons were being directed to a non existent alternative display. The Start button remains, but my taskbar disappears when the screen goes to sleep.
The pop-up that appeared while I was looking at your article was not expected or appreciated, but the info is. A followup to my previous comment. I am running Windows 7. My Start Button remains. I do, and check for explorer. It is running. If I select explorer. I suspect that it moves to the background and is behind my screen background. This ought to be an easy fix, but no such option appears when I right click, as would be reasonable.
However, sooner or later I will find it, because I know it exists. I had the same issue on my laptop. I found and tried a lot of suggestions myself. Then, I just restarted my laptop that worked out well. I checked my desktop full keyboard that turn out to be correct keys for that issue.
That was the first time it ever happened.
