Taskbar

kismet — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 03:43:19 GMT

I cannot bring up my taskar in Windows Edge 10. I can bring it up in Chrome and Firefox. I use Edge for most things. I tried going into more tools and I cannot click on the Pin to taskbar. I also tried unlocking the taskbar and that didn't help. I made my page smaller and it didn't help. Is there anything anyone can suggest to get it back where it should be. I have to click on the Windows key to bring it up if I want to use it. It has to be an Edge problem.

EVERYTHING on Windows 10 started to going downhill for me. I kept getting messages to switch to Windows 11...and I finally had to do it. I was lucky to have a computer that accepted it.

If you want my opinion, 10 was easier to use (when it was still working well). di

@kismet first thing i always try with any newer type of electronic is turn it off for 30 seconds and then restart it or unplug it for same amount of time works much of the time

using windows 7 here

I have done that for the past week. Was hoping it would just go back like it changed. Everything I read to do on line doesn't work. I agree sometimes an appliance will reset if you turn it off. No such luck with this. Could be worse I guess, all of the browers could be doing the same thing.

Try pressing the F11 key.

I did try the F11 key the other day. Today when I opened the computer my Edge page was low on top. I moved it up and the taskbar appeared. Don't know how long it will last but hoping it does. I did delete some things last night and don't know if that had anything to do with it.

I can't update on this computer to 11 but I did buy a new computer with 11. Just setting it up now but wonder if my printer will work with it. I have had a few problems over the years with Windows but seems lately a lot more. I don't like that hotmail will be opened up when I start this computer and I do sign out now when I close it. Said to use a private window for browsing also. If I didn't buy a new computer a few months ago I would get an Apple to avoid all of it.

It sounds like you may need to just maximize that window. If you can move it around, it is not maximized and it is just large enough that it is probably covering your task bar. (in case I'm not explaining it well, at the top right of the screen where the X to close the window and the - to minimize, click on the middle one)
