    Need to click on taskbar to get Windows 10 to respond


    When I power up the computer and log in the screen seems to hang and if I put the cursor over the task bar it shows the busy circle for minutes after logging in. I've found that if I do a single click in the task bar the screen briefly flashes and the icons redraw and the computer is now ready for action.

    Does anyone know why this is? Is there something I could change in the system set up so that the PC would get to ready status without me clicking?

    OS is Windows 10 Pro. Computer is Dell Optiplex 3040.

    :)

    Windows 10 Taskbar icons missing/ not responding!

    Hello Pasindu,

    Windows 10 may have encountered a system file corruption that caused this taskbar issue. For us to assist you with this, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you made any recent changes to your computer prior to this issue?
    • What is the current build and version of your Windows 10? To check, type in
      winver on the search bar and press Enter.

    Meanwhile, we suggest that restart the Windows Explorer.exe to refresh your taskbar functionality by following the steps below:

    • Open Task Manager
      by right clicking the taskbar.
    • Click More details at the bottom to expand the Task Manager window.
    • Under the Processes tab, look for Windows Explorer.
    • After selecting the Windows Explorer, click the Restart
      button at the bottom.
    • It may take a few seconds and things like your taskbar and Start menu may disappear momentarily, but when it restarts, things should behave better and you can exit Task Manager.

    We'll be waiting for your reply.

    Need to click on taskbar to get Windows 10 to respond

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
