Taskbar gone: How to make the bar visible

Using the taskbar, you can control various open programs and make settings through a DeepL access. Due to an error, it can happen that the taskbar suddenly disappears. However, this is not a cause for concern, as it is usually simply hidden.

Taskbar gone: how to make it visible again

A careless key combination or a simple system error can temporarily hide the taskbar. To make it visible again, proceed as follows:

1. Press the key combination [CTRL] + [ESC] and then the [ESC] key again individually.
2. Through this sequence, you can focus the taskbar in Windows.
3. Now you can open the properties of the taskbar by pressing the key combination [Alt] + [Enter].
4. If that doesn't work, right-click the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and select "Properties."
5. Now you need to uncheck "Automatically hide taskbar."

Taskbar gone: is it completely gone?

1. If the rehide trick does not work, there is a deeper error.

3. Navigieren Sie zu [HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/StuckRects2] und löschen Sie den Eintrag „StuckRects2“.
4. Bestätigen Sie die Änderung und schließen Sie das Fenster der Registry.
5. Anschließend sollte die Taskleiste wieder vorhanden sein.
