Taskbar Unresponsive

Question

Hello.

I have been facing issues with my taskbar as described in a previous query here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-task-bar-fully-unresponsive/018d41a7-ea1a-4689-b6fd-7c912fc26053

My issue, however, is that after having followed said instructions to fix the issue, the problem has not been solved. I am also unable to access any other programs other than those on my desktop, as well ask task manager and power shell admin. I have also tried to install and reinstall Microsoft apps, utilizing power shell admin, and this has also failed.

Is anyone able to help? :(

Thank you!

Hi, SydneyBruenen

How are you? Welcome to the Microsoft community!

My name is Juliana, I'm an independent advisor, I'm here to help you in the best possible way.

1. Click the Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys
2. Roll your mouse down and look for Windows Explorer in it and click Restart

Do the test, and see if it works again, if it didn't solve the error, go to the step below:

STEP 2

1. Click the Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys
2. Click File and Run New Task and type: Msconfig and click Ok
3. Click Services check the box Hide all Microsoft services, disable all those left, click Apply and OK
4. Restart the system

Take the test, if it didn't, go to the step below:

STEP 3

1. Click the Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys
2. Click File and Run New Task and type: PowerShell and check the box create this task with administrative privileges and click OK
3. Within PowerShell run the command below and enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "SystemApps"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Ignore errors that may arise and let the process complete.

After completion Restart the System and see if it works again.

I await news, I hope I have helped!
