  1. Taskbar broken


    Okay, this all pretty much started today when I booted up my computer. I can't use the start button, the search bar, none of my applications show up on it, and the date and time are missing. I also can't click the "show desktop" button.

    I've tried killing explorer.exe and restarting it and using windows Powershell to put in the following command:

    Unfortunately, no luck.

    Any help would be appreciated. If you guys need any info about my PC, don't hesitate to ask

    :)

    Please do a Sys Restore and report back. Thank you. Pick a date when the taskbar was ok.

    NB: That's System Restore... am not talking Reset of any kind.

    Cheers,

    Drew

  3. Taskbar broken

    All my icons on the taskbar have disappeared. The clock and date no longer show. I can click on task view and it will work. Cortana and the Windows button i can highlight but they will not open. Minimizing any tabs results in that program disappearing into
    the "void" of the taskbar.

    I have gone into task manager and restart windows explorer tasks but to no avail.

    Occasionally, task manager will crash upon opening.

    I have ran multiple scans on 2 anti-virus softwars and have found nothing.

    Please help!
