Windows 10: Right side of task bar disappearing

The right side of the task bar System Tray/Notification Area has begun to disappear. Have tried rebooting and no change. It appeared intermittently for a couple minutes then just disappeared. Screen shots attached, visible, then gone. Applications open, or closed make no difference.

task bar does not always disappear

Did not help. That is basic info. I know how to set the position of the task bar. however, sometimes, for whatever reason, it will not auto hide! still looking for an answer.
