Windows 10: Windows taskbar will not respond.

So I have encountered a major error with my computer which does not allow me to interact with the search and the windows icon, I also have noticed whilst trying to interact with the taskbar I was unable to use the windows settings or anything in relation to windows as in extra applications. I have tried using the repair commands being dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and sfc /scannow.


Additionally I have also tried to restart the windows file explorer and forcibly end the task then restarting. It is possible to right click on the taskbar and access different pinned applications on there. I also cannot use Microsoft Edge.


Unfortunately they both have not repaired any of the issues however they seemed to stop randomly and encounter faults. Thank you for reading, I appreciate any help I get!

Windows 10 Taskbar icons missing/ not responding!

Hello Pasindu,

Windows 10 may have encountered a system file corruption that caused this taskbar issue. For us to assist you with this, kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any recent changes to your computer prior to this issue?
• What is the current build and version of your Windows 10? To check, type in
  winver on the search bar and press Enter.

Meanwhile, we suggest that restart the Windows Explorer.exe to refresh your taskbar functionality by following the steps below:

• Open Task Manager
  by right clicking the taskbar.
• Click More details at the bottom to expand the Task Manager window.
• Under the Processes tab, look for Windows Explorer.
• After selecting the Windows Explorer, click the Restart
  button at the bottom.
• It may take a few seconds and things like your taskbar and Start menu may disappear momentarily, but when it restarts, things should behave better and you can exit Task Manager.
  

We'll be waiting for your reply.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
