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.

Microsoft Moves Taskbar Options To Settings In Redstone


Microsoft Moves Taskbar Options To Settings In Redstone

More specifically, Windows 10 build 14271, which is the latest version of the Redstone preview that we have to.
It moves further towards the ultimate retirement of the Control Panel.

The desktop one, that is.

Classic as it is, the Settings app is where the action is at in Windows 10 — as more and more options are being moved to this universal application. Redstone has just taken it one step further, and if this trend holds, we could see a range of new options part of Settings by the time this update for the OS arrives.

As noted, the latest version that Microsoft released moves the taskbar configuration options from the desktop Control Panel to Settings.

Take another big step towards this change.
