Taskbar Not Showing In Windows 11 (September 02)
Restarted my computer and once I booted up to Windows 11, I had no Taskbar. I couldn't access my settings or do any shortcuts. Only thing I could do is open my browser, but once I played a video it crashed almost instantly. The Windows 11 team needs to fix this ASAP.
Hey Josh, I have found a temporary fix. So do (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) That pulls up Task Manager. Next you go to file and start new task. You are going to type in (control). Then you are going to go to Clock and Region-Date and Time-Change Date and time. You are going to skip forward a few months. Your taskbar should come back. Then you are going to go do the same thing and go back to todays day again. It should start working. josh_65
- I am having the same problem, after the last cumulative update today. I have tried every command line that I have found, to undo the last update, to no avail. Loading control panel just gives a 'file system error'. I can load my browser by using the 'run' in task manager, but cannot get anything within the Windows system to run except command line.

Vulcanz me too i just installed an update and the right after my laptop booted and i logged on to my user the task bar was gone i reseted file explorer 6 times in a row i can only open edge using .htm files microsoft has to fix it ASAP
- Easiest fix I have found is this. Press Windows + R > Run control > Go to uninstall a program > go to installed updates > and uninstall Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5006674). It will fix the issue. I discovered while running a system check that when I was trying to access settings I was getting access denied. Which Made me realize it wasn't the whole cumulative update. Its just the Security update that was breaking the windows 11 system. Hope it fixes your pc 🙂
- Same problem, my task bar is just a blur and I can't open anything
