Right click Taskbar to show Task Manager is gone

For no reason, the feature of right clicking the taskbar to show Task Manager is gone. The only thing I recalled doing recently is a Windows Update - 2023-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022303).

Did anyone face the same issue of the new feature in Windows 11 (right click to show Task Manager) going missing once again?

    As you've noticed, 7z can be slower, especially with higher compression settings. If you're prioritizing size over speed, 7z is a good choice. However, you can adjust the compression level in 7-Zip to trade off between speed and compression ratio.

    Since you're running Windows 11, consider reporting the issue through the Feedback Hub app. Microsoft actively monitors feedback from Insider Program participants and may investigate the problem if multiple users report it.

    In Task Manager, find Windows Explorer, right-click it, and select Restart. This can refresh the taskbar and restore missing functionalities.
