So I just updated my windows 10 not long ago, a friend of mine use this computer to check his outlook account and now my taskbar will not lock even when I tick the "lock the taskbar" option.
On top of that I keep having a windows command prompt in the taskbar that is constantly appearing and disappearing and it won't let me stop the process in the task manager.
Don't know whats going on but the automated help wasn't very helpful at all and so I'm forced to ask for human help.
Please help, this is pissing me off and I'm at my wits end as I am not a very tech savvy person.
Thank you

That worked like a charm, it wasn't letting me access the cmd as an admin but the troubleshooting appears to have fixed it.
Just like to say your reply time was excellent and the advice given was easy to understand for a non computer wizard.
Thank you again.
Sounds like you are hiding the taskbar with a setting maybe.
Right click the taskbar and select the gear labeled 'taskbar settings'
