My taskbar keeps disappearing randomly and will not come back until I restart. Once I restart the taskbar comes back and then disappears again. I have looked at the other solutions from people having similar problems and the solutions do not work.

open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del, click Task Manager)
Click on File>New Task (Run) and enter "explorer.exe" (without the quotes)
Then click OK.
Does it come back?

Thanks A.R.!
How Awesome! This worked for me! I have Windows 7 and have only had my laptop a few months, but I just started having this problem a couple of weeks ago. It is soooooooo annoying! I really appreciate your post!
Thanks - Mother of 3 and Student again!
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ... Set the power settings to high that way your PC keeps the taskbar at high profiule so it doesnt dissapear, it worked for me !
i also have the same problem love that i can't even minimize anything because there is no where for it to go thanks microsoft
Yep me too... new Sony Vaio F-series w/ Win 7. The Start button sticks around, the rest is gone though. Good times.
