Windows 10: somehow I changed the task bar from the top to the side of my screen. How do I get it to...

Somehow I changed my task bar ? from the top of my screen to on the left side. I've done this before years ago but don't remember how I fixed it. Pls help

:)

 

Address bar (top screen) & task bar (bottom screen) keep disappearing

Most likely Tablet Mode, as dmholt57 suggests.

Turn On or Off Tablet Mode in Windows 10

Another posibility is accidentally pressing F11 which switches a browser to full screen mode.

 

Task bar

Hi SidneySherwood ,

My name is Ana. I am an Independent Advisor. Thanks for contacting our support.

Access the administration of the task bar

Right click on the task bar and select task bar Settings

Already within the configuration: in the option of task location on Screen you can see a list:

Bottom, Right, Top, Left

Most likely, it is in the "top" option.

Change it to Bottom and you can have it again at the bottom of your screen

Let me know if it helped you.

Regards

 

Address bar (top screen) & task bar (bottom screen) keep disappearing

Quite suddenly the address and menu bars at top of screen, and entire task bar with program tabs at bottom of screen keep disappearing. The only way to see them is to hover the mouse over the extreme bottom or top edge of the screen but they only remain for a fraction of a second. The problem seems to be intermittent because sometimes (as at this moment) the bars are stable. I am running W10 with two browsers, Edge and IE 11, but the problem exists on both apps and this makes navigation very difficult.
