Today’s tip: Where Did the Taskbar Go?
Category: PC, Keyboarding
Q: Some programs hide the taskbar when they open. How do I access the Start button when that happens?
A: Push the flying windows (between Ctrl and Alt) to bring up the Start button.
It might have disappeared because it’s set to Autohide. Here’s how to fix that:
- Hover over the area where the taskbar lives.
- If it appears, right click on it and select Properties. Go to the Taskbar tab.
- Make sure the box that says Autohide isn’t checked.
If the taskbar doesn’t appear, hover over the extreme bottom edge of the screen. If a double-headed arrow appears, click and drag up to bring your toolbar back from the edge.
