Dock disappeared from the bottom of your Mac screen
Your Dock is hidden but still there. Move your cursor to the bottom edge of your screen and wait a moment—it will pop up. If you want it to stay visible all the time, we'll turn off the auto-hide setting in less than a minute.
The Dock is set to hide automatically so it doesn't take up screen space. When auto-hide is on, the Dock disappears and only appears when you move your cursor to the screen edge. We'll turn off this setting so your Dock stays visible.
