  • When I log in the background screen of Windows XP appears, but the icons, start menu and taskbar do not appear. What should I do?

    To start my computer upward as usual and takes me to open a session. I connect and my background appears, however my desktop icons, start menu and taskbar DO NOT appear. I can still access the Task Manager and command prompt, but when I try to use a command, absolutely nothing is happening, leaving this method of system recovery is not possible. What should I do?

    bleedorange1998,
    Thanks for posting with us.  I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly.  If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration."   If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow.  Here are the instructions for these suggestions.  Post back with the results.

  • The start menu and taskbar does not appear.

    original title: the start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

    The start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

    You can try to leave Explorer yourself.  Here's how:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
    2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type explorer.exe and press ENTER.  The taskbar and the desktop should appear.

    However, this is not a permanent solution.  My best advice to you would be to use the system restore to go back to one hour before the beginning of the question.  This restoration process takes about 2 minutes and will not lose one of your folders: it restores only the settings from the system to a point in time that you choose (you can 'come back' as little as a few hours or several weeks).

    To do a test, follow the steps below.  I guess that you are unable to reach the taskbar for the following steps:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
    2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type rstrui.exe (this name is for 'restore user interface').  When you click OK, the system restore should start.
    3. Through the system restore program, you will choose a time to come back. When you have completed the program, your computer will restart with the settings at this time.

    Please let me know if it helps.

    Hi janavasiljev,

    • Auto-hide the taskbar has been selected for the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.
    • Your user account settings are corrupt.
    • The core files are damaged.
    • The Explorer.exe file does not load at startup.

    Make sure that the hide option automatically is not selected for the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.

    To determine if the hide option automatically is not enabled for the taskbar and Start Menu properties, follow these steps:

    a. press CTRL + ESC.

    b. If the Start menu is displayed, click on the Start menu and then click Properties.

    c. click on the task bar , clear the Auto-hide the taskbar option and then click OK.

  • Start menu and white disappeared from tasks

    Hello

    recently, my internet explore and google chrome said that they were not able to work. So I searched online how to solve the problem, but now have a new. After you follow the steps, my Start menu and taskbar went white, I can't connect to my internet with various other things. How can I fix it?

    Windows key is the key of Windows flag located at the bottom left of your keyboard between the Ctrl and ALT keys

    Have you tried to restart the services using the directions that I listed above.

    Perform a restore of your system if it is still impossible to start the system restore.  No other alternative.

    Disconnect all external devices - printer, speakers, microphone, etc...

    Start > in the search bar, type Recovery > select Recovery Manager

    Turn the system power off, reboot and start typing the key F11, F10 or F8 (depends on your system brand) to bring up the recovery screen

    Good luck

  • JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

    My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

    Hi, landonblaine:

    When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

    Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

    Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience
