  1. Task View not Working, Win+Tab Refreshes desktop and taskbar instead


    As it says in the title, I can't use the task view feature. Pressing the button on the taskbar or using Win+Tab only 'refreshes' the desktop.

    I have tried ending explorer.exe and running it again but the didn't seem to have any effect.

    So instead I have to use keyboard shortcuts to access my virtual desktops which is a pain and puts me off using that feature altogether.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thanks.

    Can't enter Task View from virtual "Desktop 1" on Windows 10

    I have been enjoying Task View and multiple virtual desktops for some time now, but suddenly Task View has stopped working properly on my Desktop 1 virtual desktop. Neither the Taskbar button nor the keyboard shortcut (Win + Tab) work for activating Task
    View. However, I can Win + Arrow Key to switch to other virtual desktops. From any of the other virtual desktops, everything works normally. Furthermore, once I enter Task View from another virtual desktop, I can Win + Arrow Key to switch back to Desktop 1
    while remaining in Task View, which then shows open application windows from Desktop 1. However, once I exit Task View, the problem resumes and I can't re-enter Task View without again first switching to another virtual desktop. After I enter Task View from
    another virtual desktop, I can "delete" virtual Desktop 1 by clicking the "x," but then the next desktop in the list (i.e. 2) becomes the new "Desktop 1" and acquires the same problem as before where I can't enter Task View from Desktop 1.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    edit: Alt + Tab works normally on all virtual desktops.

  4. Task View not Working, Win+Tab Refreshes desktop and taskbar instead

    Task View

    It's the Task View, not the Task Bar, that is the problem. I should be getting the popup (right clicking on Task View) showing the options for additional Desktops, not the five options for the Task Bar. A 'chat' with MS Solutions said that I should reinstall
    Windows 10 to MAYBE correct this problem. Any suggestions to correct?? Thanks for your interest...I really appreciate it.
    The Task View is the only feature that I may like on 10!!
