    Taskbar broken


    Just installed Windows 10 yesterday. Had my taskbar with my usual program icons. Now it has gone away and there is a black bar with just 8 white outline icons. Is there a way to enable the taskbar that will bring it back the way it should be?

    :)

    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

    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!
