  1. Taskbar breaks Windows


    Recently our users have been experiencing a weird issue, when they sign in they can't click the taskbar and it freezes the PC if you click it. Not every user in our office has this issue and it seems to happen gradually. Also, if I sign in with a new account it is fine.Is this a Microsoft Update issue, the latest one was 5 days before the glitch?We can fix it by deleting the user profile and recreating it but that removes their settings, saved bookmarks, printers and their most crucial piece, the Taskbar. I tried copying their Roaming Folder that holds the Taskbar settings but nothing gets pin

  2. Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

    Hi,



    Apologies for the late reply.



    Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



    It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



    I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



    Try the following steps:


    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command

    • Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter

    • Search for the programs and un-install it.


    Regards,
