My Start Button remains. I do, and check for explorer. It is running. If I select explorer. I suspect that it moves to the background and is behind my screen background. This ought to be an easy fix, but no such option appears when I right click, as would be reasonable.
However, sooner or later I will find it, because I know it exists. I had the same issue on my laptop. I found and tried a lot of suggestions myself.
Then, I just restarted my laptop that worked out well. I checked my desktop full keyboard that turn out to be correct keys for that issue. That was the first time it ever happened. And then I went into Safe mode, did a few scans got 7 viruses, deleted those. It worked fine for 2 more days.. F11 full screen got pushed by my toddler and made the taskbar disappear when in IE mode, push it again and taskbar returns…. Urgent, this has never happened before.
Please help! Thank You Peter Mundreon. I tried everything as well and nothing seemed to work, i tried the start task manager and even that would not show up. Is there anything else i can do to get my menu bar back, cause now i am not able to use my p. This Is what I did. First Start Task manager. Then Click Processes And Find explorer. Right click it and click end process.
Then go to file new task and type explorer. My bar and those desktop icons were disappeared due to a virus or something.
This fixed my problem. Hope it helps! I was cleaning my keyboard and suddenly the task bar and tabs all disappeared, and a window I had open was showing full screen. I discovered I had hit the F11 button, and pressing F11 again brought everything back to normal, so you may want to try pressing F11 if your task bar disappears. Had problem with no start menu. Two bits that helped.
I did not have the run option in TaskManager so created a new shortcut. I stopped Explorer process, then started it again but typing explorer in my cmd window. I still have lots of problems to sort but making a little progress. But if the Taskbar went missing due to virus infection, its difficult to restore it.
The virus will also block upgrade installation. The final option is to format your hard drive containing the OS and re-install a fresh one. Ok, so earlier this week my open icons on my task bar when I rolled my mouse over them showed little boxes so I could get a quick visual glance at what was open in that program. About Wednesday, that changed on me and when I scroll over them, they just give a list of the open programs. I must have done some keyboard shortcut.
How do I get the little pictures back? The virus will also block upgrade installation to repair the Operating System. First preferred option would be to connect your hard drive to another computer as Slave Drive and scan it for virus infection.
Never connect to the net or use removeable drives without installing a good antivirus or internet security. No point in taking risks. Excellent, thanks very much. In my case, the explorer. Thanks again. Hi Leo, I tried everything I can to follow your advice here but not seems working on my computer. What else should I do? Thank you so much Leo. It was fixed in less than 30 seconds!!! Last week my computer got some malware and it was a nightmare.
I thought that it was back!! I just installed Firefox last night. My tool bar across the top is gone, the File Menu that lists Save, send, print, etc is missing.
Arl, Just hold down the Alt key for a second and it will pop up. Seems odd to have it hidden that way until you get used to it. My explorer kept crashing and leaving me without a start button or any windows.
I had an not responding explorer. Run cmd. When it asks if you want to execute, type Y and hit enter. I understand it was a simple task, and even as someone who knows my way around an OS, this is absolutely the only solution that actually solved anything for me, whether it was from Microsoft, or users. I wanted to thank you for the help, even though this is an old answer, and it worked on Windows 8 for me. Thank you very much, Chaz. After you have ended the explorer.
This should bring up the taskbar also. I suddenly started getting the same problem about two days ago. When I start my laptop the taskbar is there, but as soon as I start IE 11, it goes totally full screen and covers everything. I figured the problem was in IE Tried looking for some settings but found nothing relevant.
Decided to just hit the maximize button so I could grab and drag the edges of the four sides of the window. Dragged them to the best fit and exited IE Restarted IE11 and it did not smother the taskbar anymore. Hope this helps. When I lose everything like that all I do is tap the F11 key once. Everything comes back instantly. I have spent several hours trying to get my toolbar,taskbar,Start button,et. All I had was a blank white page….
I have been writing down anything that might work…. Have been writing since about a. I was afraid to let your page go without having all the info at hand in case,I could not return to it! Sorry, for being so long winded but I would like to thank you,Leo,and all the people who took the time to add their own solutions in your comment section.
Am so glad I found you. Now,I will make sure that You do not disappear on me,too! Thank you! Good lesson in much needed computer literacy! So, to add another solution I will start with the fact that I have two monitors, but the one the right was OFF. Somebody moved the taskbar on the right side. There is no way to see the taskbar. That actually sounds like a video driver problem. I made my windows taskbar dissappear like this: I wanted to record a gameplay of a game, but the taskbar was in the way, so I gave the order to let the taskbar automatically dissappear in the corner.
It would only appear if you go to that corner with your mouse and it slides back into vision. It was blocked for some reason. That lead me to this page but there was no sollution for my problem. Everything is back to normal. So if somebody had this problem which I just described in my best english possible, there is a sollution even for that!
Greetings, Vantazzy! Sounds like the malware damaged your windows installation. Have you ever had multiple monitors set up on that computer? It sounds like the Taskbar may have been moved to a monitor that is no longer connected. If you see the Multiple Displays options there, select the drop down menu and click the Show Desktop only on 1 option. Thank you soo much Leo! Your solution has help me a lot. Thanks a bunch.
God bless you buddy. Again thanks a bunch!!!! Just fixed on my win7 laptop. Found the fix fairly easy. The taskbar was missing and whenever i ran start explorer. THEN run start explorer. This should make your taskbar appear again. This happened to be — the taskbar disappeared on an Alienware Windows 8 computer a week after I got it when an automatic update was made.
I simply went to the white desktop button at the bottom left of the computer screen, clicked it once. When the Windows screen came up that lists all the programs and apps, I went to the icon that looks like a little magnifying glass the search tool and wrote: explorer. The screen turned green, then my taskbar reappeared.
I had this issue when I installed a dual monitor video card in my Optiplex I fixed it by changing the 4th entry in the screen resolution dialogue for Multiple Displays so that it had the Show desktop only on 1 selected.
This worked! I was so relieved when I realized, all I had done was accidentally closed out the program on task manager when I was trying to kill an unresponsive page. I was glad to have it fixed, I rate this article 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes to play around with their settings. Hello from the Island of Malta in Europe.

Was searching for a solution. I also found the following link useful. I was just about to fly out to give a presentation and all my desktop icons and my taskbar vanished.

I was using a motherboard with its own graphics chip. When I installed a new graphics card and installed the new drivers and then booted the system the taskbar disappeared. The way i work it out, if I disable the graphics belonging to the motherboard in device manager, would this work.
Guess what it worked, I think its a glitch in the system. Hi Please help!!! My task manager is not working nor any of the procedure you gave. I suggest you reboot your machine.
