  3. Missing options from Taskbar

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand your query related to missing taskbar options on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    3. Do you have any other issues apart from the cascade and side-by-side option missing?


    Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try re-registering the taskbar and see if that works. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below.



    1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on
      Windows PowerShell (Admin)
    2. Now type in the following command and hit enter:
      Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}

    3. Restart the PC once the command is complete.


    If the issue persists, you can try creating a
    new user account
    and then see if the options are available for taskbar.



    Let us know how it goes.

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
