Has anyone found a permanent fix for this?
The temporary fixes of restarting (after waiting 5-10 minutes after boot) explorer.exe through cmd or powershell, do work for me.
Problem first occured when I was changing default installtion for new apps to a different drive (microsoft store apps and xbox game pass games). Only found these temporary fixes then I decided to reset my windows.
That fixed it, permanently until a month later. Now. Problem occurs after I download and install the update KB5008363. I've tried to uninstall that update, taskbar still gone. Only temporary fixes work. Is there any permanent fix without me reseting my pc again, rather not do that again. Is mircosoft aware of this issue?
