Windows 10: Left click and slide up from taskbar not working.

When I left click a taskbar short cut like Firefox or Edge there used to be a pop up window thingy that would allow me to open another browser window or a window in private. That feature stopped working and I can't find anything on Google probably because I do not know the correct terminology to search accurately.

Thanks for any assistance.

How do I move the taskbar icons back to the left?

Hi,

Kindly follow these steps to return the icons on the left side of the Taskbar:

• Right click on the empty Taskbar and uncheck Lock all taskbars.
• Right click again on empty Taskbar and hover the mouse on Toolbar.
• Click New folder.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

 

My taskbar will not slide away.


Thank you very much.
It worked, my taskbar is now sliding out of sight when not needed *Smile

 

Taskbar left click and right click not working

Hi Regors,



Thanks for the update.



Please reply to a few questions asked below to understand the issue better:

• 
  Do you get context menu on right clicking on the icons located on the task bar?
  
• 
  Are you unable to use the left click mouse option only on the taskbar icons?
  
• 
  What is the primary mouse button set at Mouse settings?
  

You might have changed the primary mouse button settings from the
Mouse settings page on Windows. To check the primary mouse button set on the PC, follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
  Mouse & touchpad settings and select the top most search result.
  
• 
  From the left side panel of the window, check if
  Select your primary button under Mouse is set to
  Left. If not, select Left from the dropdown bar.
  
• 
  Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
