Microsoft removed them from Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Explorer and replaced the Menubar with new Ribbon UI. This option was used in previous Windows versions when Windows Explorer used to contain Menubar and standard toolbars. I found that it was actually a bug in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and it occurs when a good old option “ Lock the toolbars” is turned off. I’m sharing the solution here so that if you also face this problem in future, you’ll be able to remove the line within seconds.
I was having a strong feeling that it should be some kind of toolbar because the mouse cursor was allowing me to resize or move it.Īfter a lot of troubleshooting, finally I was able to get rid of that ugly line. I started looking in various settings and places to find some solution but nothing worked. So it was not a glitch but some kind of bug in Windows. It was not resizable or movable.įirst I thought that it might be a GUI glitch and I restarted my laptop but even after reboot, it was still there. Nothing happened when I tried to click on the line and move it. When I tried to move the mouse cursor over the strange line, the cursor changed to vertical resize shape which means the new line should be resizable but it was not. It was showing below the standard toolbar which contains back/forward buttons, addressbar and searchbox. All of a sudden a new strange line started appearing in Windows Explorer. Yesterday I came across a strange problem in Windows 8.1. UPDATE: The problem and solutions mentioned in this tutorial also work in Windows 10 operating system.
