  1. Taskbar flashing randomly every 2-3 minutes


    My taskbar randomly flashes every 2-3 minutes, but the Start menu never appears. The taskbar shows up, but without the Start menu, and it keeps disappearing and reappearing. I’m not pressing the Windows key, and the issue happens even without pressing it. I’ve tried using different keyboards and unplugging all peripherals, but the problem still persists. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?

    :)

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!

    Windows 10 Taskbar Icons Randomly Expanding

    Hi Timothy Dy ,



    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.



    I hope you're doing well today.



    I truly understand that you are having an issue with your task bar icon that randomly expanding. Let's work on this together for us to fix the issue.

    Just make sure first that the taskbar is not locked (right-click taskbar, uncheck lock taskbar) and drag the taskbar to a different side of your screen – then drag it back to it’s original position

    If the issue is not fix, you may follow the steps below.

    Fix 1 Check latest update

    • Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update .
    Fix 2 Manually Restart the Explorer.exe Process via Command Prompt

    • Open command prompt as an admin
    • Input taskkill /f /im explorer.exe in the Command Prompt window and press Enter.
    This command will end the explorer.exe process.

    Fix 3 : Run SFC scan

    In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and run as admin

    • Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    • (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)
    • After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully,
    • " type sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.
    • After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.
    We look forward to your response. If you have other clarifications about this matter, you can get back to us by replying to this post.



    Sincerely,

    Fatima
