Hi Team, good day.

I’d like to report an issue encountered after a recent Windows update on Windows 11 Pro. The taskbar is no longer showing after logging in. Restarting the device did not resolve the issue, and it appears to be related to the latest update.

Has anyone experienced the same problem or found a fix/workaround? Appreciate your help. Thank you!

    There are some reports of problems with the Taskbar after a recent update, the best option would be to open the Settings App, go to System - Recovery.

    Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Updates 'section, this process should resolve any problems caused by a Windows update and it will not affect your files, settings or installed apps.

    It seems that you are experiencing an issue with the taskbar not showing after a recent Windows update on Windows 11 Pro. This type of problem can sometimes occur after updates, and there are a few steps you can try to resolve it:

    1. Restart Windows Explorer: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager. Look for "Windows Explorer" in the list, select it, and click on "Restart".
    2. Check for Additional Updates: Sometimes, subsequent updates can fix issues caused by previous ones. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any available updates.
    3. Run System File Checker: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow to check for and repair corrupted system files.
    4. Create a New User Profile: If the issue persists, try creating a new user account to see if the taskbar appears there. This can help determine if the problem is user-specific.
    5. Use the Feedback Hub: If none of the above solutions work, consider reporting the issue through the Feedback Hub app, as this can help Microsoft address the problem in future updates.

    If you continue to face difficulties, you might want to check the Microsoft Support Community for similar issues and additional solutions.
