Windows 10: Taskbar becomes unresponsive, then starts restarting profusely.

When booting up the PC the taskbar will first become frozen, you can still hover over the icons but clicking on them does nothing. After going and restarting the file explorer in the task manager, the taskbar will start restarting like 10 times in a row before stopping. Once you again start using the taskbar moving around icons, clicking on your notifications or your start menu the taskbar and file explorer will again continue restarting.I have tried:sfc /scannowDISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Starting a clean boot

Windows 10 Taskbar Unresponsive.

Dear Amma,

Sorry for the trouble, here are few steps that I would suggest:

• Press the Windows + X
• Open the Command Prompt (Admin)
• Now type the command as " Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
• Push Enter
• Restart the system.
• Now see if the issue persists
• If it persists the only option is to create a new user admin account.

Do let me know if it helped and please mark the answer as helpful if it helped.

taskbar tranparency

Hi Dan,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will surely assist you with this.

I would suggest you to change the desktop themes and check if you are able to see the transparent taskbar.

If that doesn't help I would suggest you to end the explorer.exe and restart it and see if you are able to see the transparent taskbar.

Please follow the steps below to restart explorer.exe:

stop and start Explorer.exe

• • 
    Right click on the taskbar and select task manager.
    
  • 
    In the process Right click on windows explorer and end the task
    
  • 
    Restart the task by clicking on the file and select new task
    
  • 
    Type Explorer.exe and press enter.
    

And see if it helps.

Do let us know the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
