Have you tried moving your mouse pointer to where the Taskbar was? The
pointer may turn into a double arrow near the edge of your screen. If
so, left click and hold and drag the Taskbar back into place.

OP,

What Terry is trying to say in 100 words is is your Taskbar on AutoHide?

There are many reason why it could have disappeared & the main one is a
corrupt registry key. You also may have dragged it to the edge of the screen
collapsing it

You can also use code to get the taskbar window & then if it is a top level
window you can sent the Windows message WM_SHOW to re-activate it

Does it appear when you press the Windows key?

Let's see. You used more words than I did, and didn't say any more. You
obviously didn't realize the OP is most likely a second language person
who needed a *simple* explanation. Sure, they'll "use code to get the
taskbar window....", IF they can understand your misspellings.

Why do you criticize others, especially when the answers aren't wrong?
