    Gap in Taskbar?

    It usually takes a little while, but at some point this little gap in the taskbar appears and the only way I've ever managed to get rid of it is doing a full reinstall of Windows. Then its usually gone for little while (weeks to months) but then will come back again. Sometimes its not a gap and its a second arrow, but one that cannot be clicked.

    Any ideas? I've done an SFC and disabled some of the programs that load on startup. No change. Sometimes restarting explorer.exe works, and sometimes it doesn't.

    Its there as soon as the desktop appears.

    This is an issue I also had in Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10 (clean install)

    :)

    screen gap?

    hi guys, i'm new to nokia discussions but made a similar post on the WPcentral forums. i have a simple question. i have a lumia 920 and there seem to be a gap between the screen and the body which dirt seems to enter through. the gap is big enough to allow
    the edge of a piece of paper to enter through it. is this normal? anyone else having this problem?

    Gap in Taskbar?

    Have you modified the theme you are using? That's where this kind of problem usually comes from.

    Its the default theme but I've changed the background to do a rotating slideshow of a folder of pictures. Its one of the first things I do, and this problem doesn't come up for a while after that

    I fired up my computer yesterday and the problem disappeared. Pretty sure I didn't do anything that would have changed anything...

    Maybe the latest Win10 update fixed it, for now.

    I have exactly the same issue. Win 10 home 64bit. using the stock theme

    I have no idea how to fix what causes it but I managed to figure out that its an un-named toolbar. if you right click on your taskbar and go to toolbars you will see a blank line under desktop as per this photo.

    click this blank line and the gap will disappear. it will come back again at some point, I don't know how or why but this is easier than a reinstall.

    Hope this helps and someone more knowledgeable than me can find a root cause for it.
