Windows 10: Windows 10 Taskbar Randomly Disappears

My taskbar has started randomly refusing to pop up when I run my cursor over it. In the last 2 days it has done this twice at random times. I use Win+I to get to my settings, but when the taskbar settings come up they haven't been changed. The setting is ON every time I check but it just stops working. I have to slide the button for "Automatically Hide the Taskbar in Desktop Mode" to off, then back on again - but I shouldn't have to do that. Anyone else having this problem or know a permanent fix?

Randomly disappearing taskbar and start icons

I have tried doing fresh installs of Windows 10 multiple times but I always face this issue where items in the start menu and/or taskbar jump lists disappear randomly. I am attaching a screenshot for this. This also happens when after I close any game (Eg. Battlefield 4, Tomb Raider etc).




The icons, though invisible are still working if I move my cursor over them and click them. Restarting explorer.exe fixed the problem temporarily.

 

Randomly disappearing taskbar and start icons

Hi sabaatworld and welcome to Ten forums!

Can you give us some more information.

You mentioned fresh install. Always from same source? Is media OK?
Did you try to clean jump lists, icon cache etc...

Picture shows icons are there, but no text. Is info behind still there? Hoover mouse pointer over icon with empty text box (not pinned, below in list) to see if text - path info shows..

 

The taskbar on the desktop of my windows 10 PC disappeared.

The taskbar disappeared from the desktop of my Windows 10 PC. I tried everything that was suggested to get it back, all to no avail. Most of them suggest that I should left click on the taskbar, which is impossible, since it disappeared. Can anybody
help me?
