5 Ways To Fix Windows 10 Taskbar Not Working Issues

Windows 10 users are facing various issue with the OS. Windows 10 KMode Exception Not Handled and Windows 10 File Explorer Crash are the other major problem faced by Windows 10 Users.

1. Fix Windows 10 Taskbar Issue with Powershell

Sometimes you encounter with Unclickable Taskbar or some issue related to it. See how to fix it.
  • Right click on the Windows 10 Start button in the Taskbar
  • Click on Command Prompt (Admin) option and Launch CMD.
OR
  • Press Windows Key + R
  • Now, in the dialogue box that appears, type PowerShell and hit enter
And follow the below-given steps:
  • In the CMD PowerShell window paste the code given below
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
  • Wait for it to complete the Command process.
  • Once this is done, Open up Windows File Explorer and go to the directory mentioned below. (Replace Username with your Windows User Name)
C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Local/
  • Now, you will find a folder named TileDataLayer
  • Delete that Folder
  • Once done, Taskbar will start to work as normal
Note:- If you can’t delete the folder name TileDataLayer, it’s because the data is running in the background. To stop the Background process, Open  Service Manager and Stop Tile Data Model Server.

2. CMD Method

Let us try to solve the windows 10 taskbar not working issue with the help of CMD. In this method, we are suing Command Prompt or CMD to fix the issue. Read the instructions carefully and try it yourself.
  • Open CMD or Command Prompt as Administrator. – Windows Key + R > Type CMD > Hit Enter
  • Now, the CMD Windows will open up.
  • Copy the Command Code mentioned below
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage –online
  • Paste the same in the CMD Window
  • Hit enter
Everything done!

3. Restart Windows File Explorer

In this method, We will try restarting our Windows File Explorer. Follow the steps clearly.
  • Open Windows Task Manager
  • Click Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Task Manager
Or
  • Click Windows Key + R, and type taskmgr.exe, it will launch Task Manager
  • In the Process tab, find Windows Explorer and click on it.
  • Click on the Restart button.
  • It will stop Windows File Explorer process and restart it.
May this can solve the issue.

4. Update Drivers

I am not sure if this method can fix this issue. But, I see a hope in this method. Because An outdated Driver can bring certain errors and can stop working some components of Windows File Explorer as well.
Go through the Device Manager and update all drivers available for update. Be sure to Update your Graphics driver to the latest version. Also, update the Audio driver for no reason.

5. Create New User Account

Again, If you tried all the methods mentioned above and found no luck, there is some serious issues at Administrator level. At situation, where you cannot find what exactly is the problem. All you can do is to create a New user account and transfer the Admin power to it and delete the old user account.
By creating a new User account, You can solve pretty much all issues related to Administrator level easily. Follow the instructions mentioned below to get started with creating a New User Account.
  • Press Windows Key + I, It will open up the Settings window.
  • Click on Accounts option.
  • Now, move onto Family and Other People option in the Account settings.
  • Under, Other Users tab you will find an option called Add someone else to this PC.
  • Select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information
  • Click on Add a user without a Microsoft account
  • Click Next
  • Now, Under the Other Users Tab of Family and Other People option, click on the new User account that we just created.
  • Select, Change Account Type option.
  • Select type as Administrator.
  • Click OK.
Voila, You have created a new User in your Computer, Laptop. Now all you wanted to do is simply delete the old account and use the Newly created account as your primary User Account in Windows 10. That’s it.

Final Words

So, these were some quick methods to fix Windows 10 taskbar not working issue in your Windows 10 PC or Laptop. A lot of Windows users are getting this issue and this were some methods you can adopt for fixing the issue. I have not tried the Driver update method. Driver Updating can solve some problems associated with Windows Explorer so, it’s worth trying.
If you tried all methods available on the Internet and also the problem still persist, I will suggest you Refresh your Windows PC. Or even you can d Fresh new Installation of Windows 10. If you are about to do a new clean installation of Windows 10, be sure to take backup all your files stored on the C drive of your Harddisk.
