Windows 10: Recent place, all programs, task bar, sleep mode and monitor questions

I got Windows 10 yesterday. Here's some things I've noticed or problems I've encountered.

- Where did recent places go in File Explorer?
- Where did the All Programs shortcut go above All Apps go in the Start Menu? I swear it was there after install.
- When my PC would go to Sleep Mode and I try awakening it sometimes it wouldn't, or my monitor wouldn't come back on. Once I had to unplug the power from my monitor and then it came on.
- So I turned Sleep Mode off, but now when I turn my monitor off then back on I get a "Dee Doo Dee" sound ans sometimes half the Task Bar and Desktop Icons are missing making me reboot.

None of these existed before I upgraded. Loving it so far, minus these issues. Anyone?

:)

 

Showing two apps side by side in Windows 10

In Reply to No Task Bar Statement:

Are you in Tablet Mode or Normal PC mode?

For Normal PC Mode (I am not familiar with Tablet Mode):

I) There are settings for the Task Bar to have it visible all the time, and at the bottom or side(s).

ii) There are settings (automatically hide Task Bar) that have the Task Bar appear when you place your cursor where the Task Bar should be.

iii) Windows open sized to the last condition that the applicable program was closed in.

The issue of displaying the windows properly in Windows 10 from Task Bar selections when right clicking remains.

 

Taskbar disappears on changing orientation on the second screen

Original title:- Task bar disappears

Task bar on my primary monitor disappears when I switch my secondary monitor from portrait mode to landscape but task bar reappears if I switch it back to portrait. (I may switch my secondary monitor between portrait and landscape modes multiple time in
a work session.) I recently upgraded from w7 to w10; and I've upgraded my Nvidia Geforce drivers. Neither sfc nor dism identified the problem. Any suggestions before I revert to w7?

 

It is now called "Quick Access"

There was no such shortcut in Windows 10. It is "All Apps" you are thinking of.

 

I've had a similar problem ... after a reboot the desktop and taskbar icons are gone. The start button, search and task view icons are all that are visible.

If I mouse the start button or hit the start button on my keyboard the laptop starts what appears to be another reboot, but doesn't really do so.

I end up having to shut down the laptop and all appears to come back normal after that event.

I don't have any sleep, snooze or any such items turned on.

I've updated 3 laptops to W-10 Pro from W-7 Pro and all have gone reasonably smooth, but I've been experiencing this one offbeat thing on one of the machines.

I'm considering doing a 'clean install' now in the hopes that might cure, but thought I would ask here first about the weird happenings.
