I cannot find the Windows taskbar.
The Windows taskbar may be hidden or minimized.
 Use the mouse to locate a hidden taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top, and bottom edges of the screen. The
taskbar appears when the cursor is placed over its location.
1. Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
2. Clear the check box for Auto-hide the taskbar, then click OK.
 Use the mouse to locate a minimized taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top and bottom edges of the display
screen. The taskbar has been located when the cursor changes to a double arrow cursor. Left-click and drag away
from the edge of the display screen. The minimized taskbar resizes and becomes visible.
Why is my system running slowly?
