I know it seems obvious but have you deleted the shortcut and re-created it? Also is it every shortcut on your taskbar or is it one particular one? Also, What is the program you're trying to open?

But i have experience with this if i run this at Safe mode everything is working fine its working perfectly when im in SAFE MODE

System restore.
 
try re-registering the taskbar.

Open elevated Powershell (NOT CMD prompt) run the following

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

after its done , go to C:/Users/name/AppData/Local/ & delete the folder named "TileDataLayer" (you might have to enable hidden folders if you dont have it enabled already), after you've deleted it, try a restart and see if taskbar is now functioning properly.
 
System restore.

yes system restore or Reinstall will fox the problem i can't reinstall every time i have this issue this caused by registry or aome services. It seems the function are disabled. I don't know which one

On administration or new accounts don't have this issue. Only my currunt account this happens today. Just browsing in my Firefox.

Create a system restore point first
You'll lose any shortcuts or custom settings that are attached to either your taskbar or possibly your start menu ,but it's not gonna delete any programs or anything ,it's just settings and specifications that will be wiped. It's a heck of a lot better than a system restore ;)

afaik, Your desktop shortcuts should be fine ,but you'll definitely lose a preference or two .I'd recommend creating a system restore point just to be safe ,and technically you don't even need to restart but it's just something I personally would do. But I highly recommend the system restore just to be safe .


If you are unable to delete this folder, Run services.msc to open the Services Manager, scroll down to Tile Data model server service and stop it, try to delete the folder again.
 
I think this is registry issue. Cause this problem on my current account. Administration and if i create new one all working fine.

Attempt a system restore or look up if there is an entry in gpedit.msc on the net for this.
 
Something I've experienced relating to taskbar in windows 10 ,is for some reason ,when you have it set to "lock taskbar", it can cause problems. try unlocking the taskbar, and maybe changing the "auto hide" setting ,and see if that helps possibly. These were issues that were patched out of earlier versions of windows 10 but maybe it has something to do with your issue as well.

Are you on the most recent version of windows? Everything is up-to-date?

Did you try the fix I posted earlier?

The working on safe mode and with admin account makes me wonder, are you running antivirus or security package?

bitdefender afaik

Yep I was right ,and it seems you may be onto something ,because he posted this earlier
Then i have this problem and i uninstall bitdefender and ota fine.

Unless it's a bad translation ,it seems like when he disabled bitdefender ,the problem subsided
 
It sounded a bit like BD behavior to me. It can get very aggressive at times.

Lol, I completely missed that part! I saw the second paragraph he had there about safe mode etc and tuned all else out there.

I'm surprised I missed the connection until you mentioned it:rolleyes: . that's a very likely possibility ,and personally it's the one I would lean towards being the most likely culprit .

Good catch

If BitDefender is doing that I would uninstall it and use AVAST or NOD32.
