        @chucky1 And what would be the answer for the question?

        And just to clarify things, we are talking about Windows task bar, right?

                @chucky1 Is the task bar set to auto hide?

                    @chucky1 51.0.2830.40 Taskbar working good here..
                    updated to 51.0.2830.55 earlier still working good..

                    dunno why your taskbar Dissapearing.. except this..
                    The next time you crank up opera and taskbar dissapears look in taskmanager - scroll down to Windows Explorer - explorer.exe - to see if it is crashed.. if so restart - explorer.exe - taskbar should reappear with opera still running..

                    opera in your case may be crashing explorer.exe

                    to run new task..

                    open Task Manager

                    Click on File>New Task (Run) and enter "explorer.exe" (without the quotes)
                    Then click OK.

                    here is a script you can save to notepad to retart explorer.exe fast.. save as a .bat file Call it Restart Windows Explorer.bat - Or the name you wanna.. Save it on desktop for easy access

                    taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
                    start explorer.exe

                      the problem is Opera steals focus from the taskbar and once that happens (and it does do it randomly for me) it does not want to give it back

                      to solve the problem I just use the restore/maximize button to bring focus back to the taskbar again

                        saw this a a thread - YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ... Set the power settings to high that way your PC keeps the taskbar at high profiule so it doesnt dissapear.

                        and this one - restore the Windows taskbar to default

                        uncheck lock the taskbar

                        then boot to safemode

                        When your computer has entered safe mode, the taskbar resets to its default position. Restarting your computer as normal keeps this change, at which point you may want to Lock the Taskbar.
