In this post, we will be showing you how to enable the taskbar for tablet mode.

If for some reason the taskbar is missing at the bottom of your screen when you enter into Windows 10 tablet mode, then the most likely reason behind this is because the “automatically hide the taskbar” setting is enabled. But just in case this is not the reason then ensure your Windows 10 is up to date otherwise you might need to reset Windows 10 to resolve the taskbar missing in tablet mode.

1. Ensure Windows 10 is up to date:

  • If in Desktop mode right-click on the start menu and click on Settings
  • If in Tablet mode tap in the bottom left corner and select the settings cog to open “Settings
