since installing service pack 1 every now and then, the time and the open apps (bottom right corner) is missing. To get it back, I either need to log off/restart my pc, or go into the settings, check & uncheck autohide. This has never happened before I installed service pack 1. I have installed SP1 through windows update. I have never installed any beta versions of SP1. I'm using windows 7 pro x64 any ideas how to fix this?

Hi, You can right click the right pane in taskbar, and click “Properties”, a Windows of “Turn system icons on or off” will appear. Turn on clock icons. In the same window, click “Customize notification icons”, set the icon show or hide, then click “Ok”. This configuration should not set again after reboot. Did your issue occurs after every reboot?
