  1. Upon restart taskbar frozen until interacted with


    Hello.I have been trying to diagnose what is causing an issue that started recently.The issue is as follows:- Firstly when booting up, and Windows is logging in the user, the log-in process takes longer than usual 20 seconds or so compared to about 5 seconds previously.- Secondly, once I get to the desktop the taskbar is frozen. I can still interact with the desktop create new icons, open folders and fully explore the directories. When I hover the mouse over the taskbar I see the hourglass icon. When I interact in any way with the frozen taskbar, like right/left click or press Windows butt

    :)

  3. Windows 10, Taskbar frozen

    Hi Richard,





    There are multiple reasons why Windows Taskbar freezes. Before we proceed, we would like to confirm if you have already tried
    restarting Windows Explorer as suggested by ArchitKhandelwal on
    February 8, 2017. If the issue persists, you can follow the methods provided below:



    Method 1: Use Powershell



    Use the Powershell command to unfreeze the frozen taskbar by following the steps below:



    1. Press and hold the
    Windows logo key + R.

    2. Type
    powershell
    in the Run dialog box.

    3. Hit
    Enter
    .

    4. Type the following command line:
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}.

    5. Hit
    Enter
    .



    Take note that you have to enable the Windows Firewall before performing the task above. Here are the steps on how to check if the Windows Firewall was enabled:



    1. Open
    Task Manager
    .

    2. Click
    More Details
    .

    3. Select the
    Services tab.

    4. Make sure that
    MpsSvc, also described as Windows Firewall, is running.



    Method 2: Enable the User Manager.



    A disabled User Manager sometimes results in a frozen Windows taskbar. To re-enable the User Manager, follow these steps:



    1. Press and hold
    Windows logo key + R.

    2. Type
    services.msc
    .

    3. Double-click the
    User Manager.

    4. Set the
    Startup type
    to Automatic.

    5. Hit
    OK
    .

    6. Restart the computer.



    Method 3: Disable Recently Opened Items.



    Disabling the recently opened items helps to speed up the list launch. To disable items that are recently opened, follow the instruction below:



    1. Go to
    Settings
    .

    2. Select
    Personalization
    .

    3. Click
    Start
    .

    4. Slide the toggle button beside
    Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Star or the taskbar to turn it off.



    Let us know if you need additional assistance.
