Taskbar Items Gone

Dec 27, 2015

My PC has decided to not show up my taskbar items today! The only icons are: Start button, cortana, task view and the notification center. The thing is that none of these will open and all my other icons are gone, even the date and time. I have tried to restart my pc and explorer.exe with no luck, and when i try customizing the taskbar i get an error saying there is no default control panel.

Start, Search items won't open from the taskbar. Clicking on Start or search results in the busy icon showing for less that a second and nothing else happens!

Tried restarting explorer - no joy.

Customization :: How To Get Rid Of Unwanted Taskbar Items

Feb 2, 2016

UNPIN UNWANTED ICONS FROM TASK BAR I just upgraded two systems to Win 10 this weekend but am having trouble finding out how to remove unwanted icons from the task bar.

DesktopDownloadsPicturesDocumentsMusic

These take up space I prefer to use for desired icons. I don't need or want them there but there is no "un-pin" option for those. I have searched and all I can find are results to hide the entire task bar or instructions on how to add to the taskbar but not a word on how to remove those unwanted items.

I would also like to know how I can un-pin one specific drive which is encrypted so it is not available on taskbar...it always wants me to format it! Better to hide from taskbar. Still needs to remain visible to encryption program of course.

Installation :: Taskbar And Menu Items Not Working

Aug 2, 2015

After an apparently smooth upgrade to Win 10 I realised the buttons on the taskbar don't lauch the programs anymore. Nor do the items on the start menu. The only few that work are the ones added by Win 10 such as Microsoft Edge, and inexplicably Skype and Viber.

I have detected a possible cause in the default application that opens .lnk files: there is no program associated. I have tried several ways (such as editing regedit, launching patches, etc.) to set the value to Iexplore.exe, but without success.

Cannot Pin Any Items To Start

Apr 28, 2015

Build 10061, clean install. Had issues with Start Menu and Search not working at all but disabling Radeon Mobile GPU and switchable graphics in BIOS, using the onboard Intel HD GPU only they both work now without any other issues than the one mentioned in the title: I simply cannot pin anything to Start.

The option is there when I right click any Start Menu item, it's just that nothing happens when I select it:

Pinning to Taskbar works but the items cannot be pinned to Start. The Start layout reset as told in this tutorial does not fix the issue. I was suspecting my relocated Users folder might have something to do with this (I have sysprepped Users to E:) but I am quite sure this is not the culprit because I do the same on all my Windows installs and all other machines, both physical and virtual work as they should.

How To Add Items To ( Most Used ) Menu

Nov 23, 2015

One of the benefits of Windows10 that returned back from Windows7 is the Recent Menus.

Unfortunately, this feature is associated with the "Most Used" section in the Start Menu.

As most users, I used Office application frequently, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.

Word disappeared from the menu without reason, I would like to add it back. How can I do this?

I know that I can remove some items from the menu, but how can I add some items to this menu?

After the final release of Windows10, I realized that editing this menu is no longer possible! They even do not allow adding any item to the "Most Used" menu if they are pinned to the start menu!!! So I removed all office items from the start menu pin to allow them to be included in the "Most Used" and gain the recent facility, but no luck for Word.

Taskbar Right-click Does Not Work - Search In Taskbar Does Not Open

Sep 24, 2015

A few days ago, after an automatic Windows 10 update on my desktop computer, I found that: right clicking icons on the taskbar does nothing - none of the options appear; the start button on the left of the taskbar only works by right-clicking and accessing the old Windows 8 style options; the search icon on the taskbar does nothing; the Windows 10 calculator has disappeared - when I press the calculator key on my keyboard a message appears saying "You'll need a new app to open this calculator". It seems to have been deleted from the computer.

Until these things happened Windows 10 was working well.

Can't Put Items On The Bottom Row Of Desktop

Dec 31, 2015

When I try to place my recycle bin on the bottom row it just moves one row up. I didn't had this issue before.

I did a system restore and it was on the bottom row for a couple of seconds and suddenly it moved up.

I can place it on the bottom row if I change the text size to 100%, but that's too small. Is there any other way?

Too Many Items On Start Menu?

Sep 7, 2015

Is there any way to reduce the list of what comes up when you click the start button? All those icons to the right are not needed all of the time and it would be nice to disable or hide them from sight so we just get the important info on the LHS such as power button and program lists.

How To Remove Certain Items From All Apps List

Aug 2, 2015

I have about Windows 10. Back on Windows 7, under the all programs list I was able to delete anything I didn't want listed there. Unfortunately with Windows 10 I can't remove everything. So I am wondering how can I clean up the "All Apps" list under the start menu?

For example, I want to remove "Calculator", "Calendar" and "Camera" from all apps. When I right click on these items I can only either pin to start bar or task bar.

Is there any way to remove these items so the All apps is a little bit cleaner?

Organizing Start Menu Items

Jul 31, 2015

I have just installed 10 and like what I see so far. How to:

- Organize your Start Menu (i.e. delete folders and create your own folders). I am unable to right click to get any options and can't drag/drop.

- Have your favourite programs on the left of the Start Menu as in Win7, instead of creating tiles on the right.

Performance :: Remove Items In Startup

Oct 28, 2015

It's easy to disable items in the Startup tab of the Task Manager, but how do I remove the item from the list altogether?

I would like to remove SWFTP and the Realtek audio manager from the list.

I already searched everywhere in the forum. I have done it in the past, through the registry editor. But when I navigate to the key location, I don't even see those items within the registry.

Start Button Items Missing?

Sep 11, 2015

File Explorer and Settings icons are sometimes missing when I click the start button. But in the start button, when I click "All Apps" and then return to the start button, File Explorer and Settings sometimes return. Sfc /scannow shows no errors. This problem occurs only on my laptop, not my desktop. Why are they sometimes initially missing?

How To Add / Delete Context Menu Items

(Hide Taskbar) Option Not Hiding Taskbar?

Jul 25, 2015

I'm using Build TH1 10240 with all updates (just checked before I posted this to be sure) dual booting W7 and W10 with no known problems other than the taskbar issue.

The taskbar hides and appears fine when nothing is up but the desktop, or the settings window and other items from the computer but doesn't hide when a have IE up, I'm using IE11, just don't care much for Edge yet, maybe as time goes by I'll start using it more.

Anytime I have IE up the taskbar stays visible and will not hide, I went to properties to reset it, tried this a few times, uncheck the box>apply, then check the box>apply, after I click apply the taskbar momentarily hides and immediately pops back into view.

I know others (Jimbo) were having an issue with this on earlier builds. It didn't happen every time for me, just every once in awhile but on 10240 it's every time.

It's not a huge thing but I've always hid the taskbar and would like to do it on W10 too.

Search Not Finding Control Panel Items

Sep 7, 2015

Windows 10 is not finding any Control Panel items when I search for them in the taskbar search.

On Windows 7 I could type in "Printers" and it would find the "Add / Remove Printer" option. Or I could type "Programs" and it would find the "Programs and Features" Control Panel item. But not in Windows 10, as seen below.

How can I get this feature back? If this is not a bug then Microsoft have seriously downgraded the search bar, which was very useful in Windows 7.

Customization :: Can't Add Or Remove Items From Start List

Jul 29, 2015

The situation is I can't add any item to the "start list', which is the list on the left of the start icons.As far as I've read, it's supposed to be as easy as dragging an icon, but it can't be done I get an "x" when I reach the destination at the left.Strange also, is that in my context menu there is no option named "start list", which posters point as an option to add a program icon to the list. Also, right clicking on an item on start list does not show me the "remove from this list option".
