Windows 10: Taskbar setting reset on boot

Windows 10: Right click your Taskbar and select the lowest option in the pop up menu Taskbar settings/ has an gear wheel icon. A Window opens with several boxes to select. The second box sets teh Taskbar to auto hide in desktop mode. This setting always resets on a restart. I always want my Taskbar to auto hide, but after ever reboot i have to open that menu and retick that box. Having to turn it on every day is infuriating. Why doesnt Windows remember it own settings? I even tried to write some Powershell code with autorun on startup, but im **** at coding and it doesnt work... Just for fun

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

Multi row taskbar settings are lost on reboot (explorer restart.)

Hi Matt,

The settings that you’ve made with the taskbar may haven’t retained due to software conflicts or an application is possibly causing the issue when you’ve set the multi-row in the taskbar. To learn more about your concern, we’d like to ask the questions
below:

• Which Windows version and build is installed on your computer? To get this information, type
  winver in the search box.
• Are you using any third-party applications that are pinned on your taskbar?

In the meantime, try to lock the taskbar after making the changes. Right-click the taskbar and select
Lock all taskbar. Then, restart your computer and check if you'll see still see the multi-row. Please refer to the screenshot below:






We can also isolate this behavior by performing a clean boot. This will help us identify if there are applications that may cause the issue to change it from the default settings. Click
here for the steps. Once you’re in the clean boot state, try
to personalize the taskbar and restart your PC. Then, verify if the it will have the same result.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
