Quick Launch toolbar keeps randomly disappearing (windows 7)

Question

I am really used to quick launch toolbar from windows XP. When I moved to Windows 7, I replicated this functionality using some of the guides, such as here or here.

But every now and then it simply disappears and I have to go through the adding process again. It happens approx. once a month. I haven't managed to track anything, what it would be related to (crashes, headaches, windows updates, new program installations...). It seems to me to be completely random.

There is quite a few posts about this issue in the internet, but either the problem is "it always disappears" (like here or here), or the answer is "add it back like this" (here), or the answer didn't help me (like here or here).

Any idea appreciated.

Answer 1

Disable the Language Bar, then recreate the Quick Launch Bar. That should do it. The Language Bar interferes with it.

Answer 2

Try Disabling Windows Maintenance Mode.
