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.

@Denzic Unfortunately not :(
I've reported the bug via the feedback software, but nothing back.
I really do hope this gets fixed, it's a pretty major bug.

I've also found that the prescribed fix doesn't seem to do anything. My solution is restart Windows Explorer. Temporary, and sometimes results in losing all of my taskbar entries in the quick menu, but it allows me to work.

@Andrzej1 W + R & W+X are not working, I think I might have to access through recovery mode.

I'm on the Insiders Build and this is something that had been giving me some trouble for a while. First, I had been pointed to the IrisService but that was a dead-end, and then I also been told to restart the WSearch service which may have worked but wasn't consistent.
Finally, someone mentioned trying to restart explorer, so I decided to give that a try. You could probably get this accomplished with cmd but I tend to use PowerShell more.
Get-process -Name explorer | Stop-Process
This killed the Explorer process and the Taskbar immediately came back and is working fine now. I'll see if I can try to reproduce again to verify, but this is a good start.
