windows 11 taskbar not showing any icons

[Alan_935]

so I recently updated to windows 11 and it was working fine. then one day I log in and at the bottom, on the taskbar, there are no icons so I can't even get to settings or my browser. luckily I had brave pinned to my home page and that is how I'm able to write this. it has been like this for a day. I have an i5 and 8GB ram so that cant be the issue so I don't know what is happening or how (if I can) to go back to windows 10.

In case anyone missed it, the Windows team has provided a workaround to resolve the issue

It's in the Windows Insider blog for each release, dev and beta.

I can confirm it works and I'm back to normal.
