  1. Task Bar Glitching or Messed up?


    So basically i just got on my computer today and my task bar has invisible applications that i cant open, i cant type in the windows search bar, and i cant click the windows icon in the left bottom corner i cant still right click but i cant right or left click the invisible broken applications. I also get a error saying "Windows cannot find 'null'. Verify you typed your name correct, and try again." I tried Malwarebytes and it detected no viruses. I tried restarting my computer and lots of fixes but no luck. Any help? Edit: Im trying to take a screenshot but i cant because windows key + G wont pull up anything and other key shortcuts wont do anything too hopefully i can still get help tho

    :)

    Task Bar glitch

    I opened the link to Clean boot, tried it, but it involves a a series of restarts after I disable some apps on startup and others not, to determine which app is causing the error. The task bar glitch I am facing doesn't occur on startup, though. When I restart,
    the task bar works fine but after a few hours, problems persist. The solution you provided would've been easy for a problem that occurs on each startup, but for me I will have to wait for the task bar to glitch after hours, then do a clean boot, then disable
    some apps, wait for it to glitch again, then clean boot again. This is in no way convenient for me.

    Is there any cleanup software or other bug finding tool for the app that is causing this? i'd prefer that or an easier way.
