Windows 10: My taskbar is gone?

Hey, random thing but when i turned on my laptop, the taskbar was gone and i could only use the AI button to get on chrome, my background is black and when i hide the tabs, a little square with smoth edges shows 3 buttons, show the tab, extend the tab and close, i cant turn up my volume, settings or task manager, how do i fix this?

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

  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.

Hi,



Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

• Right click on Taskbar.
• Click on Properties
• Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
• Click on OK.

Hope this information helps.
