Windows 10: Why is Taskbar troubleshooter not shown in my Win 10 computer??

I've wasted hours trying to figure out how a problem I shouldn't be having - Win 10 won't let me move icons on the Start menu for an Epson printer/scanner Epson installed them in separate folders and I want to combine them into one folder. Every time I try something, I have to search what the recommended solution means, then how to do it. So far, I've confirmed the Taskbar is NOT locked and that Auto Arrange is NOT set, then run a couple of apps as an Administrator which checked for and repaired corrupted files. Before I realized it, I'd already wasted two hours trying to solve this dumb

Windows 10 Taskbar is not working and "fixes" don't fix it.

Hi Carole,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand your concern about accessing Taskbar on Windows 10. We will help you with resolving the issue.

Provide us the additional information to understand the issue and assist you better:

• What exactly happens when you press Alt+Tab keys from the keyboard to switch between the apps?
• Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

As you said Taskbar is not working, and you will minimize all the opened apps to access the one you wish to from Taskbar. Be clear with how exactly you are trying to accessing the apps from Taskbar.

Step 1: I suggest you to check if you have enabled the Auto-hide option for Taskbar, if so try to disable and check if it helps.

Steps to enable auto-hide Taskbar:

• Right click in the empty space on the Taskbar, click on
  Properties,
• Under Taskbar tab, uncheck the Auto-hide the Taskbar option, click on
  Apply and Ok.

Step 2: I suggest you to install all the pending updates on your device.

• Connect to the internet.
