Getting ready to go back to Linux, just waiting to get some other stuff out of the way. Taskbar autohide on my Win10 box stopped working this morning. Minor annoyance, I looked it up and found a simple fix - restart the Windows Explorer process. Okay, did that, autohide started working. Bur srsly, the taskbar is almost 30 years old, low-level shit like this SHOULD JUST WORK. Now 12 hours later I just noticed it’s not working again. What the Actual Fuck, guys? Unbelievable.
Sure, but then they shouldnt complain. Stuff break on linux too and when fixing them you also often have to open a terminal. When things are broken, a terminal is often the goto on any system…

And for some reason the file Explorer and the Desktop/Taskbar are connected and you can end up with just a black Screen
LOL yeah I wasn’t even gonna get into asking why TF hiding the taskbar has anything to do with Explorer.
chkdsk /scanIf any errors found, stop and /f themThen:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestorehealthFinally:
sfc /scannowIs that command line stuff? Hard pass for Windows users.
Edit: I guess the Windows users didn’t like that joke
yes, it is. those are pretty much the definitive windows commands to try to fix random stuff like this too, if they fail then it’s reinstall time lmao
Is fixmbr still used?
