     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.

      Tried this and it didn't work. I noticed 'time zone' was invalid and correcting this the taskbar immediately loaded as soon as the selection menu disappeared, even before I hit ok.

      This works for me. I can see the task bar post changing the time. There is an article as well. The issue is with cumulative update.
