taskbar, Taskbar & Start menu disappeared when toddler palyed with keyboard

My 2 year old hit a key combination which made my Start menu, toolbar & taskbar that all disappear. I have already indicated the mouse for all parts of the screen. When I point to the bottom of the screen it disappears below before the window of the current screen. Please tell me what to do to restore my menus.

If you're using Internet Explorer, it could be F11, which starts the navigation screen. Just press it again. You will perhaps according to the keyboard, hold a Fn key at the same time.

  • After you restore rundll32.exe, I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared

    Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs.   I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

  • All program files and shortcuts from the "Start" menu disappeared

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) (64-bit).  Two days back, I've updated my windows.  After restarting the PC, all program files and shortcuts in Start menu disappeared.  The shortcuts that I myself had added manually do not work.

    Have you tried to do the restore of the system in SafeMode as stated in my answer 1 to you?

    If it doesn't/does not work:

    If you do not want to repost in the Windows Update Forum (they are the specialists it for the best advice regarding your problem), make this disc Bootable startup repair and use it to do a system restore or uninstall the updates by using the method 2nd in my 1st reply:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer: upgrade to Windows 10 - Start Menu disappeared

    I updated July 29 to 10 Windows using the Windows Media authoring tool.  I was very happy with the new system, everything was working fine until 2 days ago the Start Menu disappeared.  I looked for solutions, as it seems a common phenomenon and Microsoft are aware and working on a fix (this problem occurred with a previous version).  The most popular and apparently successful solution is:

    Open Windows PowerShell (run as administrator) the Task Manager (as a new task) and enter:

    Get-AppxPackage | % {Add-AppxPackage - DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.)} {"InstallLocation) \AppxManifest.xml"}

    This has not worked for me.  After much trial and error I havefound change affected 'Standard' to 'Administrator' account and restart work.  Long term, however.  Someone at - there a better solution?

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I was one of those for whom this solution did not work.  The problem turned in my case to be caused by AdAware 9.0 that was included in the upgrade.  He was using a lot of memory and seemed to be blocking updates.  He was not enrolled in a program control panel, so I was unable to uninstall it.  I tried to replace it with the latest AdAware (currently 11.0) to save the program and then can be removed but was not able to uninstall version 9.0 or (AdAware 11.0 seems to cause problems with Windows 10).  I finally managed using Revo Uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/ and find the program that even this program has no seeAdAware 9.0 installed programs.  After a complete withdrawal of all remaining files and a few reboots and allowing Windows Update to automatically install updates a backlog of orders, the Start Menu is back.  Problem solved.

  • Start menu appears when the letter button two times, reducing to the minimum the games or the theft of focus

    Hey all,.

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit Home installed on it.  We have installed a few programs (Google Chrome, steam, Team Fortress 2) but quickly noticed an interesting glitch.

    A letter key is typed twice and held, it evokes sometimes the start menu.  It happens more frequently when you play, and thus minimize the and killed us.  It can also happen outside of a game - my wife had trouble typing a web address, because when she hit 'w-w-w' the menu start jump upward and she just type 'Google' or whatever in local search.

    A few notes:

    • The computer is new.  The keyboard and mouse as well - are the keyboard and the mouse are brand gear xtreme.
    • We have updated Windows from a half hour ago.
    • We have updated the graphics drivers from an hour before.
    • We run avast antivirus and have analyzed malware.  We only visited sites of confidence, since we got the computer yesterday, and the problem appeared the first time my wife ran IE, so I'm doubtful that it is malware.
    • Nothing unnecessary runs in the background - that is if I run TF2, the only other program running is steam that has to work.
    • We tested intensively - the Windows key has not been pressed.
    • The problem may appear when a program runs, but its also duplicable when simply on the desktop is open - double typing and taking much will eventually bring up the Start Menu.  However, the problem is much easier to duplicate and much more infuriating when you play full-screen.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
