  1. Non functioning task bar


    I followed online advice to go into Task manager processes and press end task for Windows explorer. I was following a path to Press the Windows key + R and then type in " explorer.exe " and click enter. After the first step of ending the task no window appeared to permit me to complete the operation. Please what do I do now?

  4. Non functioning task bar

    Jump lists on Task Bar not fully functional

    Hi Stephenson,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, please provide few details.


    • Do you receive any error, while trying to add icon on the Jump List in the task bar?

    • Do you receive any error, while trying to install arrange icon in the task bar?
    As per your query, I like to inform you that; you can arrange the icon in the task bar.

    I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

    1) Open an Administrator CMD window (Type
    CMD in the Search bar or Press Windows Logo Key + X. Click on
    Command Prompt admin).

    If you can’t find a way, use these steps:


    • Press CTRL + Shift + ESC to open Task Manager.

    • Click File > Run New Task.

    • Make sure you have a check mark beside "Create this task with administrative privileges".

    • Type CMD.
    2) Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    sfc /scannnow

    3) If both the above commands are completed and show no remaining issues, run the PowerShell command and copy and paste the following:

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


    4) Check to be sure this command ran, showed a blue progress indicator and then returns to the prompt. If you see a red error, please try again. The command may have been typed or pasted incorrectly, or there may be a larger problem with Windows 10.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
