Where is half the taskbar and taskbar icons?

I had to relocate my computer to another side of the room and, in the
process, disconnected everything (yes, I turned off the computer first
before disconnecting all wires) and then reconnected it all.

Everything works: internet, programs, etc. once I turned it back on.

But the bottom half of the taskbar is not visible and the usual 6 or 7
icons (such as the volume control button) that usually sit to the left
of the time all disappeared except one (the AVG free software button
still appears).

Any idea how I can get to see the full taskbar (without pulling it up
with my cursor, which takes up double the space...I don't want to do
that) and get all the usual taskbar icons back?

I thank you in advance for your attention to this query...

Use the controls on the Monitor to raise the bottom of the screen.
Either decrease the vertical size, or raise the vertical position.

Disable SSDP service then try again.

Open Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, and you can read
about the service, and disable it there if you want to try that.
