Windows 11 taskbar issue

Hello, recently i've upgraded from win 10 to win 11 and everything is running smooth except for the UI for taskbar it's all the same as 10 and start menu along with search are not working so is there anyway to get the UI of windows 11 and make them work?

    I'm facing the exact same issue. I went back from Dev version to Windows 10 last month and installed the beta version today.

    I tested further. Created a new user with my wife's Microsoft account. It started with the proper new account 'Hi' thing and showed the correct Win 11 start menu.

    This leads me to believe there is an issue in the User account migration. Removing the user account and adding it back should be able to fix this however I'm yet to test it.

      Hi there, I've been having the same issue as this trying to upgrade to W11 right now.
      So I just rolled back to W10 but wanted to try to upgrade back to W11 again via installation assistant.
      "This leads me to believe there is an issue in the User account migration. Removing the user account and adding it back should be able to fix this however I'm yet to test it." Did this solution work for you?

      Hello
      I think the Microsoft team deliberately left the taskbar after the old!
      I'm used to it and want to have it at the top of the screen!
      if everything works well then Windows11 and the old Windows10 taskbar - for me it's very good!

        Deleted i dont think they did mean to, because when i installed one of the first beta insider previews, it had the proper windows 11 taskbar in it, but now my start menu and start button doesnt work and im starting to get a little frustrated with rolling back and re-imaging multiple times

      Deleted  just follow the steps:

      step1: go to windows update>advanced options>recovery>click reset pc

      step2: click remove everything

      then we see windows 11 gets launched and you will get windows 11 taskbar 

      pls try this and more importantly you must be in windows 11 and follow the steps

      Deleted Hello,
      Mohamed didn't really explain clearly, but I'm experiencing the exact same issue as he is. I have Windows 11 preview Version 10.0.22000.100 installed, and the taskbar hasn't updated properly. The Windows 10 taskbar remains, and as such, the start menu does not open. Here's a screenshot that shows what I see:
      I have tried using sfc /scannow, and tried rolling back + reinstalling that build, with no luck. When I press the Windows key on my keyboard, or click the start button or search button, nothing happens.

      Thanks for responding, however i'm just wondering if you ever got a fix for it i can't totally use tasbar at all not even a restart or shut down i've to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to do it also i still got the old UI from win 10 in there seems weird.

      P.S: my laptop meet the requirements also i didn't customize anything that was first time update through windows insider
