Windows 10: RE: Gray Task Bar

The solution given for solving the light gray task bar issue personalize - colors - dark is only a partial fix that causes another issue. The result is that the upper search bar then becomes dark also which it wasn't before, and not desired.


The recent Windows update also may be responsible for my have "Managed by Organization" showing in settings. I believe that I have solved that issue however.

Cannot modify Task Bar settings

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and will be happy to assist you.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.

• Right click on the Task Bar.
• Uncheck the option " Lock the Taskbar."

Hope this helps.

 

Gray bar at bottom of each folder in large icons view

• What are the changes made or things you've done before the issue start? I ran hitmanpro.
• Do this gray bar displays on all folders and files in the File Explorer?
  The gray bar does display on all folders in the File Explorer but not individual files themselves. The gray bar only displays on all folders in view as Extra Large Icons, Large Icons, and Medium Icons. The gray bar does not show when view is either in Small
  Icons or List, or Details.
• Does the folders and files with the gray bar can still be accessed successfully?
  Yes all folders with the gray bar and the individual files in the folders can be accessed.

I am currently running System File Checker and will let you know if that works.

If if doesn't work then I'll run DISM or System Update Readiness tool as suggested.

Thank you so much.

*UPDATE*

The results of System File Checker says "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

Now I'll run DISM or System Update Readiness Tool as suggested.

 

Task Bar Icons

I have lost the ability to enable my task bar icon for Batter Charge Status. When I go Settings to display the list of icon options the Power icon is grayed out and unable to toggle on. Anyone else ever experience this?
