- now who are updated to newer build all have the same problem
we have to wait for solution from microsoft
merk311 I just had the same problem occur. I cannot acccess my taskbar or any of my apps. Some apps dont work at all now.
Merk's method worked for me until I broke down and decided to to a soft reset (Keep all files, no programs).
Press CTRL + Shift + ESC to open task manager, then find explorer.exe and restart it. That was working for me 98% if the time, but I had to do it after every restart, so I just reset the PC and now it is working great. I remember similar (And much worse) problems when I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to the first Windows 10 release. Microsoft can never get a smooth OS transition right.
On the bright side, looking through the installed programs list I made with GeekUninstaller prior to the reset, I really needed a good wipe anyway. So much crap was on there I haven't used in years lol.

- ill just reinstall windows 11 and i hope that works cuz half on my apps are broken
I Control+Shift+Escape doesnt work for me. I am unable to get into Windows Restore or any of the options to reset my PC. Its not hardware. Its definately an issue. I closed explorer. But cant open any strt menu or taskbar settings to get anything done. I cant even reset if I wanted to. Thats what I get for "Testing" ! 🙂 lol RyanTech_LLC
- You should be able to at least get task manager to open.
- Got the task manager open. Restarted Explorer but it didnt restart. Gonna have to reset or restore a Win10 build I guess.
- Do a hard restart (Hold in the power button) and try again. I was doing restarts like crazy back when I first upgraded last month.
- I think that I fixed it guys. Please wait til I respond.
- Yeah I tried restarting explorer I even have a batch file that does it for me but it didn't help.
- Same
