Here are a few notes that might help.

Is it possible you turned on Tablet Mode?
Press Windows Key + A and tab until you hear Tablet Mode, if it is checked
press the spacebar to uncheck it.

From: Bill White
There are two settings that you can change to make sure that, in the
future, even if Tablet Mode does get turned on, your desktop and task bar
won't be
hidden.

1. Open Settings with Windows key plus I.

2. TAB 1 time to the list of Settings categories, and press ENTER on
System.

3. Arrow down to Tablet Mode, and press ENTER.

4. Under Tablet Mode, make sure, Hide app icons on the taskbar in tablet
mode Button is Off

5. Also under Tablet Mode, make sure, Automatically hide the taskbar in
tablet mode Button is Off.

The problem was that it was in tablet mode. How I got it out was by
pressing, Win + A, for the
Action Center, then tabbed to, Tablet, and unchecked it. Then to prevent
the computer from automatically starting in tablet mode I
went to Settings, Win + I, selected, System, then arrow down to, Tablet
Mode, arrowed to, Desktop, Tabbed to, and selected never switch.

Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Worst case scenario, contact the Microsoft disability Answer Desk at
800-936-5900.

One thing to try:

Press Windows M to get to what is supposed to be the Desktop. Open the
Context menu with the applications key or Shift F10. If the menu pops up,
open the View submenu. See if Show Desktop icons is checked. If it is not,
check it. This will hopefully solve the problem.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong
