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.

chkdsk /scan If any errors found, stop and /f them

Then:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Finally:

sfc /scannow

Is that command line stuff? Hard pass for Windows users.

Edit: I guess the Windows users didn’t like that joke

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.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
