Wait, did you try the thing I suggested?

That may be due to a hard drive failure. Try a flash drive OS like Porteus ( Put it on your USB through another computer ).This way you can run a live OS without a hard drive. Then using BIOS, change the boot order i.e Flash drive first. Plug in the flash drive and boot.Check if you can access...

No problem and yes you are probably right but it's still worth checking. Meanwhile you can check disabling BITS and Windows Search services and see if that helps (services.msc)

That happened to me when my hard drive was failing. Can you do a SMART check and see the hard drive status to make sure its not a hardware issue? There are several apps you can use for this phrpose. Speccy is one. The smart status is under the hard drive section.

Someone posted a solution in my thread. http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/69379-taskbar-jump-list-has-distorted-icons-placing.html

That's what I figured you must have done ;)

Thank you so much, that solved the issue for me!

Just to make sure people following this thread are updated, a user reported refreshing their PC without an internet connection and the jump list was back to normal. So you could do that or wait for a simpler fix like me.

That's awesome. At least we now know for certain the updates are what's causing the issue which is probably related to the Windows 10 roll out.

You could use the built in backup tool in Windows 7 (Control Panel->Tools and Maintenance). Otherwise, you could just manually copy/paste files to the external hard drive.

Users did not report any positive result of uninstalling Chrome. This probably is related with the updates installed during installation and Windows 10 imo

Yes I got mine from here as well. I also have a hunch this has to do something with Windows 10. But I hope for love's sake we dont have to upgrade to windows 10 to get this fixed.

I think he is referring to the problem that I and a few other users started threads about (here and on different forums). http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/69379-taskbar-jump-list-has-distorted-icons-placing.html

Thank you, precisely what I mean.

Well the icons are distorted (that large-ass pin), the background is blue..do you see now?

Well I'd rather have it fixed because I do often use it. Thanks for that tip though.

Hello folks! I hope you are all doing well So I installed Windows 8.1 Single Version OEM on my Toshiba L850-B750. Everything went great except I get this weird taskbar jumplist popup which I have attached and I searched extensively to find a solution but to no avail. Can anyone tell me what...
