Calendar and clock disappeared from the taskbar

I tried to customize the icons in the icon from the task bar, but there was no date/time from the list.  I went to the actual Date and time, but there was nowhere I could see which explains how to set the clock on the taskbar or desktop.  There's a calendar in Gadgets, but no clock, and when I went online to Microsoft, I saw the warning saying NOT to use the Gadget.

What to do next?

Thank you

Hi Pam,.

You mentioned that you are unable to find the time in the window list customize Notification icons. Before proceeding further with this issue, I want to clarify one thing here - as the window to customize Notification icons, did you click on the link "enable or disable the system icons" and check if the "clock" option is available in the list of system icons?

If this isn't the case, I suggest you for this and let us know the status. Please follow these steps:

(a) right click on the notification area in the taskbar, and then select the option "Customize Notification icons".

(b) now, at the bottom of the new window that opens, click on the link «enable or disable the system icons»

(c) you should be able to find the "clock" option in the list of system icons.

(d) If you have the option "clock" that listed there, and then select the option 'WE' in this menu drop-down.

(e) click on 'OK', then 'OK'.

(f) this should display the date and time in the taskbar.

Hope this solves the problem. If this does not resolve the issue, then please get back to us. We will be happy to help you further.

    Hello

    Try this:

    Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
    Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
    Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

    Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

    Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
    you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

    Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
    Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
    most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
    run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Start icon disappears from the taskbar. Command prompt concludes that he cannot fix corrupted files.

    My power icon disappeared from my taskbar after a reboot. Following the advice of the Forum I turned on command prompt and asked the sfc/scannow.

    After a long search, I received notification that there were a few corrupted files and not all could be fixed. This had occurred previously in 2012.

    After a security alert, security, I downloaded the program named Emet. After reading more below in the Microsoft forum, I found the comments which Emet

    may damage files. I decided to uninstall Emet. When I finished that I discovered that the Emet icon has disappeared from the taskbar along

    with the battery icons and a few other icons. I took my Asus laptop at Best Buy and the tech there called a Microsoft service don't. and

    has got instructions to restore the missing icons using the appropriate record. It was in summer 2012. When I stopped my laptop Sunday, December 21, 13

    and then reopened Tuesday, December 23, 13 I found that, once more, my power icon had disappeared from the notification area. The correspondent

    subprogrammes in the control panel for the management of the icons in the notification area were inoperative for the icon of power and a few others. This

    was the exact situation I had in 2012, about 16 months ago.

    After failing to solve the problem with the command prompt, I thought I would ask for help. For the moment, I managed without going through the power icon

    presented at the center of mobility in the office and after having pinned the control panel to the taskbar on the right.

    Hi Ronald,.

    When you first start a new computer, the operating system typically runs Startup service initializations that can take anywhere from one to six hours to finish, depending on which applications are preloaded on the computer. Make sure that you give the operating system sufficient time to finish these Startup service initializations until you stop or restart the computer. This problem generally not happen once the operating system has completed initialization of all before background services is restarted.

    I suggest you refer to the following article which has a few registry tweaks to solve the problem. Please follow the steps and check out them.

  • Keyboard's weird and URL disappears from the address bar

    Recently, I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my computer and had to reinstall Firefox. Since the new reinstall I have two strange problems in Firefox.

    1. the keyboard or keys jump a lot from the window of the address bar in FF, and it usually does not allow me to finish an entire word or phrase.

    2. whenever I type in and go to a URL after the URL address charge disappears from the address bar.

    -Ryan

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • I move images desktop into the trash, and disappears from the taskbar?

    So this is a new problem for me, and I have not found anyone who has this problem on the net.

    So, whenever I move an icon on my desktop to the trash, the taskbar disappear. On rare occasions, only the Start button will be visible, and the rest of the taskbar is missing. Of course, I can get the task bar by pressing the button on my windows, but I would like this to stop happening.

    I will answer a question you may have: no, auto-hide options have not been selected. I checked. If anyone any idea what could be the cause?

    Hi Kenneth,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the taskbar disappears as you move images from desktop to the trash and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    1. This only happens when you move images of office?
    2. Have you tried to change the location of the images?

    To diagnose the problem, we will try these steps and check.

    Method 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in safemode, turn on your computer in a clean boot state and check.

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

    See: , start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Not close this command prompt window until the audit is 100% full. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is completed.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • A toolbar disappears from the taskbar. (Quick Launch toolbar)

    In windows 7 Home Edition premium, I have a frustrating bug. I tried to use the functionality of the toolbar to add to the taskbar and by doing so the addition of a quick launch Search menu that him. Sticky icons do not have a solution for me, so I need a quick launch as a toolbar to work.

    Do work was pretty easy, I just added the folder used for the quick launch shortcuts, I wanted to use. My problem is that every once in a while, when I turn on the computer, or when I restart it or even after disconnection and return newspaper, the toolbar, I added disappeared completely.

    Solutions I tried to solve this problem:

    (1) setting the registry values for windows save my settings at each reboot of the/log - off /sleep/shut-down etc.

    (2) save the theme after I have reset the toolbar and use it as my default.

    (3), to try to create a new user profile and move everything that I need to work on this new username and you try to install the Quick Launch toolbar again.

    (4) lock the taskbar after the addition of the Quick Launch toolbar.

    (5) remove the toolbars that could be clashes with the quick as the language bar launch (although I greatly need it for my work).

    None of these attempts at fixing worked , restart every second or almost everytime I sit down to work on my computer the same thing happens. Quick Launch disappears.

    W7 dear experts, I'm a fan of windows 7 and I like much more than XP or Vista, but two of them cost me much less expensive and had a simple feature to do me my job efficiently. the Quick Launch bar. I can't have 40 icons spread allover deliver to my office, so it's a very frustrating for me. Help, please.

    Oh and a friend of mine half jokingly suggested this could be a feature to discourage people from using a win7 Quick Launch toolbar, if it is the case let me know as soon as POSSIBLE so that I can go back to XP before I lose more time on this issue.

    Waiting for good news :) Philip.
