My taskbar is not there when I turn on the laptop?

Hi

For a few days, my taskbar is almost completely blank when I turn on the laptop. I have Windows 10.

My taskbar looks like this after switching my laptop on: The sign for Windows, Cortana, "Active applications" are there, then all applications are gone, then come contacts, "Show hidden icons", sound and Internet are not there, but it there's room for them, that is they are not displayed. "DEU", time and date, and the notification field are also there, but I can't interact with any of the applications.

On the desktop, I can open Google etc., but I do not see it in the system tray and if I minimize the image I can't call the application again, unless I call the Task Manager.

After about 5 minutes (although it gets more and more day by day), the taskbar will be back to normal.

Today I wanted to call the Explorer to open a document. First it worked, but when I clicked on a folder, there was no feedback and suddenly all applications closed and the taskbar was blank for about half a minute. I called him again, but the same thing happened. The third time he got no feedback after returning to normal condition.

Does anyone know how I can fix the problem? I've had an antivirus scan for bugs, but I have not found any bugs or viruses.

I'm absolutely no PC specialist, rather the opposite, but I found that - maybe that will help?

Taskbar issues are related to the Explorer when it's hung. Restart should help, maybe even better with Taskkill in a batch file. As this is explained here:

If that does not help, reinstall Windows via inplace upgrade. Make backup before, but should not lose any data:

Make Windows fast with an inplace upgrade

Upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will preserve your personal files and installed programs. This circumstance can be used for a pseudo-upgrade, where you upgrade about a Windows 10 with Windows 10 (in-place upgrade). The repair installation only replaces the system files and parts of the registry. Installed programs and user data are retained.

For an inplace upgrade, start the setup from the installation medium. The system files are replaced, personal files are preserved.

You need an installation DVD suitable for the installed system or an ISO file of it. Press Win-R, tap
msinfo32 and click "OK". If "Version" is 10.10.10586 Build 10586, the latest fall upgrade for Windows 10 is available for the release of this article. If you have obtained this via Windows Update, load the associated ISO file via the Media Creation Tool (
http://www.pcwelt.de/...e/2102904). "10.10.10240 Build 10240" is the original version of Windows 10. In this case, you can use the ISO file or DVD that you used to install the system. It is better, however, to download here the current ISO file and perform on this occasion, an upgrade.

Open the download folder in the Windows Explorer and insert the ISO file in the file system via the context menu item "Deploy". Then start Setup.exe from the installation DVD or from the mounted drive. Click Next, and then follow the instructions in the Setup Wizard.

Because this procedure replaces the files on the hard drive with the versions of the installation media, start the Windows Update after the repair installation is complete.
