    A strange case of missing Destop toolbar in the Taskbar


    Greetings.
    After installing the latest update on one of my machines, the Desktop toolbar was found missing from the Taskbar. Adding it again doesn't seem to work as it would disappear upon rebooting. The other machines were fine. Appreciate any kind assistance to resolve this strange issue.
    Many thanks and best regards,

    :)

    Toolbars missing from Taskbar in Windows 10 v1803

    My original thread on May 17 2018 is locked.

    Toolbars missing from Taskbar in Windows 10 v1803



    However here is a solution:

    Remove the Language Toolbar from the Taskbar by unticking (unchecking) it in the list of Toolbars. It will then float and will not show up in your Toolbars list or on the Taskbar.

    Logoffs, Restarts and full Shutdown/Poweroff/Startup will all retain the Toolbars as set.

    Hope this helps someone.

    Strange new Toolbar

    What the...?!?

    I just noticed down near system tray the word "Blaster".

    Clicking on it did nothing, it had no menu's related to it, but when I right clicked on the taskbar and selected the "Toolbars" option, there was a "Blaster" entry down the bottom that had a tick next to it. When I then selected this "Blaster" entry, it disapeared off the task bar, and now when I go to the Toolbar's menu, the "Blaster" entry is not there. *Confused A strange case of missing Destop toolbar in the Taskbar :confused:

    What the heck's going on here?

    Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

    I'd include a screen dump, but it's not there anymore!

    Cheers,

    Tan DJ

    Toolbars missing from Taskbar in Windows 10 v1803

    Non-System Toolbars are missing from the Taskbar.

    Every time I reboot, my own Toolbars (folders containing shortcuts) disappear from the Taskbar in Windows 10 v1803. The Language Toolbar is the only one there following a reboot. Other (viz Desktop, Links, Office16 and New Toolbars) have to be re-added as
    Toolbars. I'm not referring to pinned icons.

    v1709 was OK.
