Arrow for shutdown gone

I do not know why it is missing, but the arrow next to the Lock button is
missing. I can push the button and shut the machine down, but I liked having
options. I can still get to the options, but the arrow has disappeared. I
have a small sliver of button to hit which brings up the shutdown menu.
Anybody able to help me get this arrow back?
Thanks.
Kathy

Right-click on the Taskbar and select Properties > Start Menu >
Classic Start menu and click Apply. Then repeat the procedure
and select Start Menu and click Apply.

Hi Kathy,

Did you recently make any screen resolution changes? Sometimes if you
select a improper resolution size for you screen, it can cause a
distortion like this that squashes items where you cannot see them
almost. If this is the case, try adjusting your screen resolution back
to a native resolution based on your screen size.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
