  1. Task bar - how to put it back to a user friendly setting


    My computer has decided to do an update without my agreeing It has changed my taskbar which is now terrible how can I revert back to the old style task bar? Why must Microsoft make these changes without the person who has purchased the product able to reject them? You need to discuss these things with the people who actually have to work with these products not the computer programmers whose work is only programming. I’m so fed up with this

    :)

  3. task bar not responding

    Hi,

    There are several possible reasons why the task bar is not working as expected. One of them may be caused by a corrupted user profile. In your case, we'd like to ask for additional information to help us determine the appropriate steps to solve the issue.
    Please answer the following:

    • Have you made any recent changes or installed updates before the task bar stopped responding?
    • Was the task bar working after you have created the user profile?
    • Have you checked if the issue also exists with the other user profiles?
    • What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    For initial troubleshooting, you can follow the steps in this article:

    .

    We hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi Rose,

    Sorry for replying to you late.

    I would suggest you to Disable Tablet Mode.

    Try the following steps:

    • Click on Search icon on task bar, type Tablet Mode Settings and select it from the options
    • Turn off the settings that says "Make Windows more touch friendly"

    Hope this helps.
