  1. Windows search doesn't work when the taskbar is on the top of the screen.


    Hello,My taskbar is hidden on top of my screen. Whenever I press the Windows Key and start writting keywords of the content I am looking for, nothing happen.It only works when:- I display the taskbar by putting my mouse on top of the screen,- I display the taskbar on the bottom of the screen.Before my windows update from version 20H to 21H1, that behavior was "random". Now [21H1 - 19043.1165] it is permanent. I can't use the taskbar when it is on the top of the screen.NB: reinstalling windows native apps / running health checks / ... don't work.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Windows 10 Taskbar sometimes on top of full-screen applications

    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
    • SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
    • Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
      "(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.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
