Windows 10: When can we expect the ability to move the taskbar to return to Windows?

When can we expect the ability to move the taskbar to return to Windows? This is a major issue for usability and I cannot understand the decision, but I am certain it will be reversed. When do we expect that do be?

Taskbar not working as expected

Hello everyone.

I recently changed the Owner of my C:\ drive (properties/security/advanced) from TrustedInstaller to my account and gave my account full access (to subdirectories aswell).

Since then, the taskbar doesn't work as expected:

• Left click on start button doesn't work, right click does,
• Windows key won't display the menu (shorcuts work e.g. Windows+R),
• Right click on applications pinned to the taskbar doesn't work, left click does,
• Left click on date doesn't display the calendar anymore,
• Left click on notifications doesn't display the notifications center anymore.

I tried the "sfc /scannow" thing but it says some files can't be repaired. And in the log I have a lot of errors like this "Error - Overlap: Duplicate ownership for directory".

I tried aswell the powershell commands we find everywhere about taskbar problems (Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers....).

I also tried this: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Is there any way to fix this without having to reset Windows ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

• Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
• In the search box, type Settings

  "(Recommended)”.

Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
• If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
  
• If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.
