- Fix an Application That Appears in Task Bar but Doesn't Open or Restore in Desktop.
Sometime back while I was out of the office, my system crashed with a blue screen message about a hard drive failure. Fortunately, I was able to restart and save any essential files that weren't already backed up. When I got back to the office I ran SpinRite on the hard drive, it didn't find any problems, and I have yet to have another crash.
But recently I launched a program which I had running during the crash. The program appeared in the task bar but nothing happened. When I clicked on the task bar icon it expanded to show a program instance, but nothing happened. When I right clicked on the task bar icon, it expanded to show the program, "Pin the program to the taskbar" and "Close Window." I clicked on the program and got an error saying the program could not access a needed file and the program was terminating. I tried several times to get the program to run and each time I couldn't see the program and eventually getting the same error. I tried several fixes such as renaming the offending file, deleting the file, etc., but nothing worked. Finally I restored to a virtual machine where I was able to run the application and finish my work.
When the program is on a non-existent screen which can happen when a screen is removed or if you drag a program window off the screen (which SHOULD not be possible)
The fix is to use the old keyboard commands to relocate the program to a part of the screen you can see.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

No, I’m having a different bug where clicking a program does open it up, but the pop up isn’t shown at all. :(

I had this problem only with Outlook. When I start outlook, the splash screen will appear on my second (Right) monitor and then it disappears. I could make it appear by clicking on the Outlook icon in taskbar couple of times. In my case, problem was that task bar was set to automatically hide. When Outlook is not visible and if I unselect 'Automatically hide taskbar' option, Outlook window appears instantly. I am running Windows 11.
the program just isn't as a window on my pc. it's there, in the task manager and the taskbar but just not visible
close the program, move the taskbar and open the program again. it should work
@@tommyhernandez7489 wym "move the taskbar"? ive restarted my computer, reinstalled certain things and they still wont open I dont get what I'm missing
update, i got tired of looking for fixes and just fully reset my pc, fixed all my issues and since I have more space my pc runs faster. i do recommend this just make a backup or move important folders somewhere you can port them back
Same
Did you find a solution ?
Quick and to the point thankyou!
You're welcome!
Yesterday my day was difficult because my browser (Opera) was stuck in the taskbar. I even tried downloading and using different browsers but I just couldn't believe how infuriating and frustrating it is watching RUclips with commercials before every video, not to mention all my saved links, the way I handle downloads, night mode, the list goes on, and the easy of use that I'm used to now. It's frightening how dependent we became on a browser.
YES
Hey can u tell me how to solve this problem
My Opera gx browser is stuck in the task bar and when I click it. It does not appear. I tried many many things. Like opening the task manager cancelling it, and then re opening it. Nothing worked. I am in dire need of help.
@@veerabhadraprasadr9886 Select the icon of the browser stuck, then click windows key + D, you're welcome.

Sameeeeee

Same
Yesss!
Me too
You're the best in the world, I swear!
You saved my day at work. 😂😂😂
Glad I could help
I can’t open anything not even taskmanager my screen is stretched and the apps open but only on my taskbar.I can’t access any settings it’s like my screen is frozen.
Another workaround that helped a bugged shortcut if your app is stuck to left/right of screen
- right click on the shortcut,
-go to properties,
-under shortcut settings,
-look for the command 'Run:',
-change from 'Nomal Window' to 'Maximized'
-Close down the app from task manager if its open, reopen.
Hope this helps someone. :)
Thank you VERY much.
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!
How if the apps become invisible? The box plate is there on the screen but unable to see any word or graphic on it. Just like a shadow
hello, l try to install an application but after giving administration permission it just shown in taskbar. it will not open
any thought?
So like I’m on windows 11 and I’m having a similar issue but with the settings app! It shows up in the task bar but it doesn’t show up on my desktop I’ve tried running poweshell and all that and that hasn’t worked
When i click f1 the first app on my taskbar opens, when i click f2 the second app opens and f3 the third. Do you know how to turn this off? If i click f2 in a game google randomly opens, because it's second on the taskbar
If you can kindly elaborate, I will do my best to assist.
MDTechVideos International You know the function keys. When i click for example f1, the first app/game opens on my taskbar. And when i click f2, the second app/game on my taskbar opens. And then it just continues like that with f3, f4, f5 and so on with all the function keys. This thing randomly happened when i was playing. I don’t know how to turn it off, so I’m asking for your help. I’m not good at explaining, but i have Discord so i can screenshare if you didn’t understand. I hope you can help me :)
yes, your video did the trick. would you know why the computer does that? one of my programs had this problem after I updated it. I just like to know why it does that.
Thank you so much. It worked.
Glad it helped

What if you can't right click the task bar due to restrictions. Computer is owned by a telecommunication company so there's a limit to what I can do. What other troubleshooting steps can be done? Or any advices?
