    Hi @CHUCK MELTON,

    Thank you for posting your question to Microsoft Q&A.

    According to your issue, I am not sure if the taskbar has been hidden or not - you could double-check by looking at this setting: Windows Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Uncheck the box "Automatically hide the taskbar".User's image

    If this option does not bring your taskbar back - please open Task Manager > go to Details > Right click on explorer.exe > End Task.

    After that, click on File > Run new task > type again "Explorer" to see if the taskbar appears again.
