Question from Malinda: I have an almost new Acer laptop with Windows 11 on it.
It was working fine until I turned it on yesterday morning, but now I can’t see the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen unless I move my mouse down there.

If you recently purchased a Windows 11 PC or upgraded an existing machine to Windows 11, you’ve probably noticed that the Taskbar is thicker than it was in previous Windows versions.

Question from Ervin S.: Last night my son was using my computer (Acer All-in-One Desktop with Windows 10) to play a game on his school’s website.
At some point something must have went wrong because when I turned the computer on this morning I noticed that the taskbar had somehow been moved to the left side of the screen.
