Windows 11 Task Bar Empty

Ok, so almost every time I boot up windows 11, my task bar shows, but only the tray icon arrow shows/works.

 

The rest of the task bar doesn't load/appear. If I wait for maybe half hour and kill exporer.exe and restart it, it starts working again.

 

Now I don't always have to wait this long, but sometimes it takes ages.

Once in a while it'll work fine, but that's rare.

    I have the same problem, but I can't load taskbar items at all even after half hour. I restart eplorer, run sfc scan, remove the latest quality update and doesn't work at all. I can't open settings too, and my desktop right click menu bring back to old version.
    please help me. I use the latest update (build 22000.168)

      I'm also having the exact same problem, have you found a solution to this?
      The only thing I can do to make it work again is to reinstall 22000.100.
