    Explorer launch lauch from task bar error


    I'm getting intermittent error usually the first time I try to access after a boot). The error that comes up is explorer.EXE Server Execution Failure. Another error screen says no app for this shortcut. I deleted the task bar shortcut and created a new one and it didn't make any difference. After this error, explorer opens normally. I've had this intermittent problem for a while and at least back to 1809. I'm now on 1903 and its still around.

    Here are the screen captures.

  2. Quick Launch Tool Bar

    Hi Seawell,

    To get the Quick Launch toolbar back to your task bar, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the task bar.
    • Select Toolbars> New Toolbar.
    • Type C:\Users\(PRESENT ADMINISTRATOR)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
    • Click Select folder.

    Regarding your concern with pining apps to task bar, let us ask a few questions:

    • What exactly happens when you try to pin programs to task bar? Are you getting any error messages?
    • Does this issue occur on all apps you try to pin?
    • Were there any changes made to your computer settings prior to the issue?

    Try
    starting your computer in safe mode
    and check if you'll be able to pin the program there.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    I also can't install my printer. Keep getting error message saying printer driver is in use. It asks me to stop the driver so I do and then I get error message saying I need to start it! I haven't a clue how to fix it. The printer does work wirelessly but I can't use any features like Duplex printing Etc.
