Taskbar of guard disappearing whenever I close the lid on my laptop

Original title: taskbar

Win 7. My guard task bar disappears whenever I close the lid on my laptop.  It's not hidden off the screen where I can get it back by scrolling over background, its completely gone!

I have to restart to make it reappear

This just started last week. I don't think I did anything deliberate that let auto-updates to date occur

GOOD BLOOD!

  • Bookmarks toolbar disappears whenever I close the browser. Have you tried all the recommendations.

    At the time where Firefox has become very slow, I've been running Chrome for several versions. I'm now trying to switch to Firefox. I have 27.0.1. My bookmarks toolbar disappears whenever I close the browser. I tried all the recommendations I can find including zero and change of name, etc, but nothing has failed to cure the problem. Restore default used to work for the current session, but now it does not work. I'm about to give up and stick with Chrome as the bookmarks toolbar problem is driving me crazy. I'm about to try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. And this will be my last resort, unless you get a solution to this problem. I've been a Firefox user since its inception up to 16 or 17 years old and like Firefox, but this seems to be common according to my research. BOOKMARKS BAR IS A MUST HAVE!

  • When I close the lid on my laptop, random programs begin to run.

    1. so here's the deal:

    I have laptop Dell XPS L502X in Win7 Pro;

    b. out of nowhere, and all of a sudden the next irritating problem started havoc. When I close the lid on my laptop at night, random programs begin to run. The desktop icons move into other folders or the trash. It changes the size of the larger icons... it changes even the settings 'snap to grid '.

    2 until you tell me to turn it off or put it to sleep extended mode... I need to let you know that I need to leave the mobile "awake" so that it downloads my incremental changes to Carbonite cloud, as well as my local/resident of mirror [Carbonite] drive.

    3 oh yes: I also went up to disable the 'mouse' integrated glidepoint device, too: same result... madness.

    4 I jumped every hoop I can think... to run the diagnostics runs each available from Norton 360 scan... Online / remote - to both Norton AND Microsoft support.

    I can understand your annoyance in that regard. I appreciate your effort posting this query to the Microsoft Forums.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. Did you change in the computer before this problem?
    2. What types of files are open when you close the lid of the laptop?

    Please provide the Event Viewer logs to resolve the issue and the screenshot of the desktop icons.

    Check out the link to check the Event Viewer logs.

    Note: However, the link is good for Windows XP, you can check the link to check the computer for Windows 7 Event Viewer logs.

    I suggest that we do a system restore to last good configuration.

  • Computer stops whenever I close the lid

    I have a 5510 accuracy is around the age of 2 months with 10 Windows installed on it.  In 2-3 weeks he started close subject when I close the lid.  Of course, I never close the lid and save open it immediately, it's usually hours later or the next day.

    My settings specify that when I close the lid it falls asleep on the two battery and plugged in, but now it's apparently close because when I re - open the cover later it's start.

    I saw another post that mentions trying several things like updating video drivers or do some diagnostics on the hard drive.  What should I check first?

    Hi KLIEMOHN,

    This happens with or without the adapter plugged? Is there the bluescreens / system breaks down? The pilot light and manual standby modes work fine? The system into hibernation and turn very well?

    Update the BIOS - http://dell.to/1U2Js3b

    Create a system restore point.

    Reinstall the chipset and video drivers from the same site above.

    Go to control panel-> options-> to modify the parameters of plan-> change advanced power-> sub sleep settings - disable hybrid sleep - under the power buttons and lid-> check lid close action settings - apply and ok

    Restart the system and check that it works very well.

    Create a new account admin and check - http://bit.ly/1JoFhcw

    If the problem is not resolved, restart the system and press f2 to enter the BIOS - close the lid and open again and check if the system stops, and it stays on in BIOS mode.

    Restart button f12 system and press on start - choose the diagnosis. Let run diagnostic tests and if you encounter errors - take note of the full error even report for us.

    If the system is under warranty, write me a private conversation with the service tag, your name and e-mail address.

  • Food access option for when I close the lid on my laptop cant

    When I go to the control panel and select power options and then "choose the closing cover" it not gives me the ability to change anything. I can see the options there but they are that a little gray color which means that you cannot modify them. I have a Samsung qx410-jo1 notebook and that as far as I know that they do not have a driver for it so I wonder if there is a way to ensure that I can change what happens when I close my lid.

  • Is it safe to close the lid of my laptop while my PC installed updates?

    Update my laptop if there is long, and it made me wonder if my laptop updates so that the lid is closed or will provide the update just a break?

    Could not.  Depends on what is defined in the configuration of power supply.  It can put to sleep that wouldn't be good updating.

    You can check by clicking the power icon in the system tray > power options > chose the closing cover >?

  • Well, when I manually put my computer to sleep or simply close the lid of my laptop, it reboots completely.

    I had this problem before. I resolved for a few days, but then the problem reappeared. So I decided to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows Vista Home basic. I have Acer Aspire 5735-4774, 32-bit. I already went through all the parameters of power and its advanced settings as I was told the last time. Everything seemed OK, but I still have the problem.

I use Windows 7 and I would like to know how to configure settings to direct me to the user login screen when I open it again the lid of my laptop after the '.

    Most laptops will give you the option to do nothing, sleep, Hibernate or stopping when you close the lid. End the session is not normally available. However, you can select the option that requires the user to enter a password when the machine is awake.

  • RELOADED 6.3 Lightroom and the icon is set to "keep in dock". Program is leave whenever I close the window? [was: Hi,]

    Thank you

    "Keep in Dock" and close the window of LR is 2 different actions.  "Keep in Dock" means that, even if LR is closed, the LR icon is always in the dock for the reopening.  If you want to keep open LR, do not close the window.  You can minimize LR as suggested above, or you can 'Hide LR LR in the menu.  Cmd + H keyboard shortcut

  • When I close the lid on my MBP, it goes to "Standby" to "Hibernate" why?

    My MacBook Pro for six years had been working perfectly until about a month earlier, when he stopped to stay in Mode standby when I closed the lid.

    With the lid closed, initially, he goes to sleep, but after about 30 seconds, it goes into hibernation mode and to turn on again, I have to press the power button. I then get a grey screen and no use of the trackpad. Shortly after, the gray screen disappears and the machine works perfectly.

    The battery life is very good (68%), I have reset the SMC and I have not loaded the new software. The only thing I can think is that this started to occur at the time of the last update of Safari.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Comments or suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hello, Spring Lake Bob!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reviewing your post, I understand that your MacBook Pro sleeps as expected when you close the lid. Instead, it goes into a hibernation mode that requires you to press the power button to interact with him again. I certainly understand wanting to make sure that the computer sleeps when it should wake up how it should. I'd be happy to help you!

    Get help with your situation, I would say using the article below the link to help isolate and solve the problem of sleep.
