Roy & Ann Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have an hp laptop that was running 8.1 with all the updates. Since I have 3 laptops to upgrade. I down loaded windows 10 to a USB drive. The upgrade seems to have gone fine with one exception. On the task bar all of the program icons I had, are gone. If I try to Pin to Task bar, The icon moves to task bar and disappears. Tried to "google" the problem, but cannot see anything that matches my problem. Any experts have any suggestions?

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have no answer. But, can you add to the Start Menu? One thing I found, perhaps you have your laptop in Tablet Mode. Tablet Mode changes the desktop layout. Look in Settings / System / Tablet Please click for Emails instead of PM Mark & DaleJoey - 2016 Bounder 33C Tige - 2006 40' Travel SupremeSparky III - 2021 Mustang Mach-e, off the the Road since 2019 Useful HDT Truck, Trailer, and Full-timing Info atwww.dmbruss.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budeneighe Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Has your screen size oversized your physical screen size? This has happened to a few because of default display drivers. Typically, try to change your screen resolution and see if you have many choices or just the generic ones. If you only have the generic resolutions listed then you probably need to get an updated video chip driver. Windows update should eventually get you on their WHQL video driver for your video chipset but you may want more control than that one will give you. NVIDIA has new win 10 drivers if you have an NVIDIA video chip. Just athought.

Roy & Ann Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I fixed it. The problem was a program I installed on the 8.1 computer to simulate the start menu. Stardock, Start8. Once I removed the program the Icons appeared. Now It seems to operate normally.
