Weird Taskbar Orientation

tdemeola,

Welcome to the forum!

It is hard to tell the orientation of the TaskBar in the capture...

• However, to decrease the height of the TaskBar, right-click on its empty area, and uncheck: Lock taskbar (if checked)
• Place the mouse pointer at the top edge of the TaskBar until the pointer changes into a double-headed arrow.
• Drag the TaskBar toward the bottom of the screen to decrease the height.
• Lock the TaskBar by right-clicking on its empty area, and check: Lock the TaskBar

Hope this helps!

 

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.

 

Everything on my Windows 10 desk top screen has turned 90 degrees to the left.

Hi Andrew,

The screen orientation settings may have changed that is why the screen turned 90 degrees to the left. To make the orientation of the screen normal, follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo (Start button).
• Click the gear icon (Settings).
• Select System.
• On the left pane, choose Display.
• On the right pane, click the drop-down menu under Orientation.
• Choose Landscape.
• Click Apply.

Share with us the result after performing the steps above.
