    Black screen and hidden taskbar


    I recently encountered the problem of my laptop starting up with a black screen, the taskbar not visible and something seems to be loading all the time. From time to time, the black screen goes away for 5 seconds, and shows an empty desktop. I am able to open microsoft edge, the taskbar and almost everything through it, but the laptop is really not useable. Before this problem, almost every day my pc had a blue screen crash, with error code memory management. I tried to fix it but it didn't work. And now the problem is worsen. I took a look at my laptop's components and everything seems fine:

    :)

  3. Taskbar hidden behind windows

    Hello, sookie(2)

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    There are a few possible solutions to fix the taskbar hidden behind windows issue. Here are some of them:



    • Check your taskbar settings and make sure that the auto-hide feature is turned off. This feature can cause the taskbar to disappear when you move your mouse over a maximized window. To turn off auto-hide, press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, and select Taskbar settings.
    • Change your display resolution to an appropriate one for your monitor. Sometimes, the taskbar can be hidden if the resolution is too high or too low for your screen size.
    • Resize the window to a non-maximized state. This can be done by clicking and dragging the window's edges.
    • If you are using a second monitor or a projector, the taskbar may be hidden on one of the screens. To fix this, press Windows + P on your keyboard and select PC screen only from the sidebar. This will make your primary screen the only one that displays your desktop.
    Feel free to ask if you have any further concerns.

    Best regards
