My keyboard also does not work

[@pagey4491]

You are amazing. It worked. I thought my computer was on its last leg. So happy! Thank you!

[@komalsabharwal8216]

Thanks for helping you save my laptop it's useful in Windows 11 also

[@kurtisin]

Thank you. You saved my broke ass. I went through five stages of grief before I found your vid. The instructions are clear and simple, thank you again.

[@Aloha-zp7fc]

I'm 72 and nothing comes easy with a computer. I was going to pay for remote help, but thought I'd give RUclips a try. I tried a couple of other sites and it was quite puzzling, expecially because either the instructions were too quick, more complicated, or explained by someone with a heavy ethnic accent. Then I got to your site and was again cautious when you said that this was a simple fix! It was. You had a slower and more understandable pace of speech and used less steps. Yes it was easy!!!!!! I am a subscribing and will share your website. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@HelpingHermit]

thank you for the kind comment!

same, it takes like 20 mins for taskbar to load

[@RayulBeatbox]

@@UJD1grr so I figured out what was wrong with mine! I got a huntsman mini keyboard and that keyboard makes it do that so I just tried a different keyboard and my taskbar loads fine now, also if you got the razer sypnase app it makes the task bar not load sometimes, or if you got any apps that start when you turn on your pc

Please help
Everytime I opens a software or browser or file manager, It comes in to task bar. It's don't directly pop up to the screen. It starts and runs in taskbar. I again need to click from taskbar to open it.
Example: Let's say, I double tapped a text document. It will come in to my taskbar. It won't come to my to screen. Then I again need to click it from the taskbar to view or open it.
I checked my keyboard buttons and mouse if they're causing the issue or not. I can see keyboard and mouse are ok.
Please help me out of this problem.
