  1. Program's alternatives does not show up when clicked on in task bar


    When I click on a program's icon in the taskbar on my stationary computer the alternatives (which I see on my laptop) does not come up.

    Normally there should be some program specific alternatives like "new tab" and "new incognito tab" for Chrome. However, all that shows up now is "remove from taskbar" and "close window".

    Does anyone know how to toggle this and get all alternatives to show up?

    Thanks in advance!

  2. Unable to view installed programs when i click on the windows icon or type in program name in search box on task bar

    I am unable to view installed programs in the program list. When i click on the windows icon or type in program name in search box on task bar, the program doesn't show up. For example, I installed visual studio, launched it, closed it and searched for
    it in using the above steps. Did not show up. I had to re-install it! As a workaround, I either pin these programs to my task bar or create a desktop shortcut during installation. I use Windows 10 Enterprise edition, Surface book, purchased in August 2016

  3. Windows 10 Defender - How to make it default to task bar?

    Using Windows 10 and currently I am using Defender for anti virus. For whatever reason Windows Defender does not show up in the task bar unless I search for the program or right click and scan a file/folder. Is there a way to force Defender to show up in the task bar at start up?

    Throttlestop obsidian not showing readouts in task bar

    Hello

    I had the previous version of throttlestop installed on a surface pro running windows 10 and it was working beautifully but now I am having trouble getting throttlestop to show temp/cpu reporting in the windows task bar. I have 'Task Bar' checked in the main window but still nothing appears. The check boxes within Options for Notification Area such as CPU Temp and CPU Mhz do not respond when clicked. Am i missing something/is there something else I need to do in order to get throttlestop obsidian to report to the task bar?


    Thanks so much!
