Magnifying glass icon

Why does the magnifying glass icon keep disappearing from the task bar and how do I get it back (and keep it there)? The last time I searched for magnifier.exe as someone suggested, got it back, now it's gone again. Please, this is driving me crazy.

Magnifying Glass Lost Functionality

Hello everyone,

I'm at that crossroad where vision has diminished but not enough to warrant glasses. Anyways I just upgraded to Win10, have mapped the magnifying glass to my mouse side button and here are a few features I sorely miss from previous versions of Windows:

- Magnifying glass no longer remembers the size of its view window, I have to expand it every time.

- Magnifying glass steals focus from the underlying window. If I'm in a menu, magnify starts and I lose the menu. Same with filling out forms of any kind, dropdown menus etc...

Thanks

 

Floating Transparent Magnifying Glass in Windows 10

Greetings,

Thank you for getting back to my email. Please try the following steps below.

1. Open Magnifier.

2. You can change your magnifier view by pressing Ctrl + Alt + M – this will cycle through full screen mode, a floating transparent magnifying glass, or docked.

this should open the transparent floating window.

Press the Windows logo key + Plus (+) or Minus (-) to zoom in and out.

Hope this helps, Please let me know how it goes,

Have a great day ahead, stay safe.

Sincerely,
