I am using windows 10 21h2 and nvda 2021.3.5. I have noticed a strange issue. Suppose I have turned on portable copy to check that this copy is working properly or not after creating portable copy. I am going to visit my uncle's house tomorrow. So, I created a portable copy. If I exit the portable copy after confirming everything is working and turn on the standard or normal copy, the taskbar disappears. I neither can focus the task bar pressing windows + t nor pressing tab several times after focusing desktop. However, I have not verified by a sighted person. So, I cannot say strongly that it really disappears or nvda cannot focus on it. I have to restart windows explorer from the task manager to bring it back. I have noticed this strange issue two times.

Hi Farhan,
I just tried here and can't immediately replicate it. I have seen previously - unrelated to NVDA - where explorer crashes, the taskbar can disappear or appear empty for a little while. I've found when this happens in Windows 10, it usually sorts itself out after a few seconds, although the open windows may be in a different order to where they were previously. Could it be something like that? Does the taskbar come back after say 10 or 20 seconds?
Quentin.

I can't think of anything obvious - do you have any add-ons? You mention you made a portable copy to take to your uncle - do you have NVDA installed, and if so, I assume that is NOT doing the same thing?

I have many addons. I have installed copy. However, I am using portable copy on my uncle's computer. I did not notice this behavior in my uncle's computer. I have not installed nvda in this computer.

If it's not happening on your uncle's computer, then that at least hopefully means what you were originally trying to do worked, so that's good!
I'm still not sure why the portable copy was misbehaving on your PC though.
