Windows 10: Why does Windows Explorer ends task several times each day.

Several times each day my taskbar at the bottom of each page stops coming up when I scroll down to the bottom. At this time It still functions properly on just the desktop. So I have to go to Task Manager, scroll down to find Windows Explorer and then click on the "restart task" tab for it to start working again. It will work ok for a while and then quit again. I actually had a Microsoft tech "take over" my computer and tried to fix it. That lasted for about 3 days and then it started all over again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

End tasked Windows Explorer

Exitting / end-tasking File Explorer

I've found the easiest way to exit / end-task File Explorer in Windows 10- so, if anyone wants an easy method, then just refer to this post:

If you're encountering a problem / bug with your Windows 10 system, and a website told you to end-task File Explorer:

• Move your cursor to the place on the taskbar where it shows the date and time.
• Click Ctrl + Shift keys and then, still holding, right click on the place where it shows date and time.
• There will be an option called, 'Exit File Explorer'. Click it.
• If you need to start File Explorer back, click Ctrl + Shift + Esc buttons together (as everyone knows). The Task Manager appears.
• Click 'File' > click 'Run new task' > type 'explorer' or 'explorer.exe' and hit enter.
• Wait till it loads.

Over! That was easy, wasn't it?

You can use my easy method. Or use the hard way - I'm not insisting to use this way.
