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.

    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.

  • Volume icon disappears from the taskbar

    Volume icon missing on the task bar.  Seek to return so I can adjust volume when necessary

    It was with my installation of XP.  I have to open the Control Panel, uncheck the 'show' in the task bar (or system tray, whatever it may be), hit apply, then re - check and apply again.  It should appear. For a period of time.  Also started happening with my battery/power icon and the same solution worked for a while, but now it works again (just for the battery - the volume still works like that).  I had found some registry changes, but they do not seem to have worked.  Any comments would be useful.  I still have to run this laptop sometimes.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP

    original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restart

    After that I restarted my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials icon is missing from the taskbar. It also happened when I have ESET NOD32 installed. When I disable the SSDP Discovery Service, in the section of the Admin, it will appear. But when I go back and set it to automatic, it will still be absent.

    For all that is you probably not need to have running SSDP Discovery Service, for security reasons almost always disable this service on any system that I put in place.
