    Black screen with taskbar and icons still showing


    Black screen with taskbar and icons still showing [​IMG]I reset my laptop wanting to wipe it and start off fresh, but once i did, this happened. Im not sure what to do or how to fix it.

    basically cant do anything on it at all. There are no folders that cab open. Start menu cant open. Its basically just a dead screen that stays this way the entire time.

    please help??

    :)

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
