Help! My taskbar has disappeared

Seaxwyn

Hi there. I hope someone can help me.

My taskbar has disappeared (is that what it's called? The panel along the bottom of the screen with the Start button and tabs for all programmes that are open.

How do I get it back again?

Thanks for any advice !

I'm afraid once its gone. Its lost forever.



My son does this to mine every so often and there is a way to get it back.
In the mean time if you go to the bottom of the screen it should pop up.

Sometimes they get moved to the side or top so move the mouse to each edge and see if it appears. It should also appear if you press the windows button near the bottom left.

Thank you so much! It's back! Hooray! One tiny problem, it's now up the right hand side of the screen instead of across the bottom - how do I sort that? If I drag it, it just gets wider.

Bring up the taskbar then click on tools and the untick the fullscreen option

Drag from within the taskbar, not the edge.
When back in position, right click on a blank area of it and tick "lock the taskbar"
