How to view Taskbar?

[Guest]

I think I hid my taskbar and now I can't make it visible again. I can't see
it at all, not an edge, not anything. I tried dragging it up (though I could
see nothing of it, not even the top edge) and it did not work. I right
clicked and left clicked my mouse where the taskbar is suppose to be but
still nothing happened. I have no idea on how to fix it.

Does it pop up if you press the Windows key (or Control+Esc)

You can try here:

Does pressing the Windows Logo key on your keyboard or Ctrl+Escape show the
start menu? That should help you find where the taskbar is.

Hello,

I think you've enabled the 'Auto-Hide Taskbar' feature. Try and move your
mouse to the bottom of the screen (just move it as far as you can to the
bottom) and see if the taskbar pop's up. If not try and check the other ends
of the monitor (i.e.. the top most corner your mouse can reach into in every
single direction).

Then when you find your taskbar, right click on it and click 'Properties'>
Under the 'Taskbar' tab uncheck 'Auto-hide the taskbar'. You should now be
able to view the taskbar.

If not press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager > Click 'Shutdown' in the
menubar> Click 'Restart'. This will restart your computer, and you will most
likely get your taskbay back.
