Taskbar glitching

Question

My laptop's taskbar wouldnt load properly. My problem I've been playing VALORANT and I've been changing the resolution of the game (NOT IN THE WINDOWS 11 SETTINGS) and it all seemed good. I use alt + tab to switch windows, Then 2 days ago my taskbar wouldnt even load properly. It just kept getting worse recently and I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled it but it didnt work. Would someone please help me fix my taskbar

Answer 1

Thanks for the response. Appreciated.

1. Let's try to Update or rollback the Display driver

Please press the Windows key + X

Then click Device manager

Kindly expand the Display Adapters

Right click and choose "Update Driver"

Select "Search automatically for drivers"

If the issue persists Choose "Browse my computer for driver" instead

and click " Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"

Choose the older version.

Kindly restart and check if the issue persists.

2. Please try to run the sfc scannow to check if there's a corrupted system file. Kindly follow the steps from the link below:

Please click start menu and type cmd, right click on it and choose CMD with Admin.

Type sfc /scannow and hit enter. NOTE: There's a space between c and /

Thank you for the reply, I've tried the first method and it still glitched. My windows is also up to date. one of my friends told me to switch my task bar to left and it kinda helped me and it fully showed my search box but not the other icons.
