My taskbar was flashing off and on for about 2 weeks, then it faded, and now it is black. I had two Windows professionals check out my computer, and it is not a Windows issue. Hardware issue they say.

Hi@Judejewel,
Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!
I see you are experiencing issues with the HP Laptop/PC the Taskbar is flashing off and on and then faded.
I have a few recommendations
- Update your Notebook computer to latest BIOS from HP.COM.
- Make sure the Windows and HP support assistant updates are up to date.
- Try doing Reset PC Keep my files from windows and check if it works.
The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system.
Click here for the HP Cloud Recovery Tool (Windows 10) link.
For any hardware issue or repair please click on the link Phone Assist Worldwide
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
