    If your taskbar appears as the Windows 10 version instead of the expected Windows 11 taskbar, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is fully updated. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any available updates.
    2. Restart Your Computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve display issues and apply pending updates.
    3. Create a New User Profile: If the issue persists, consider creating a new user profile to see if the problem is specific to your current account. You can do this in Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.
    4. Reset Taskbar Settings: You can reset the taskbar settings to default. This can be done through the Registry Editor or by using PowerShell commands, but be cautious with these methods as they involve system settings.
    5. Reinstall Windows 11: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to consider reinstalling Windows 11 to ensure that all components are correctly installed.

    These steps should help you restore the Windows 11 taskbar functionality. If the problem continues, you may want to reach out to Microsoft support for further assistance.

    Is this problem only occurring on a new account you have created in Windows, is there a previous account on the PC and on that account, is the normal Widows 11 taskbar visible.

    Please provide a screenshot of the resulting dialog.
