How to Fix Windows 11 Taskbar Not Working? Taskbar Not Showing Issue

[@JohnK3ZX]

Thank you for this! I am now going to name my first child "WindowsChimp" in your honor. (If you believe that, I have some oceanfront property in Utah that I'd like to sell you.) But seriously, thank you for this video.

[@joshuamathews]

are you serious

[@jjdrago2115]

My computer said can not update so sad

[@noahscott7272]

Hey…I have this problem here. I upgraded from windows 10. I’ve tried everything. I have a 256gb nvme, and the s drive is used as my primary drive. Nobody seems to have mentioned this. I think the cause and the solution lie here! Hoping someone more skilled will look into this! I upgraded to windows 11 with my nvme/ d drive setup! What I’ve found is the task bar works every single time if I unplug my d drive! It seems the upgrade didn’t change something on the secondary drives. Everybody has the same advice, but nobody seems to have any idea why! I hope this helps someone more skilled skip some steps and and shared a much better solution!

bro imagine your kid attending school and getting bullied for his name-

[@Cooltreeman]

"Upgrading" to Windows 11 was probably the worst choice I've ever made on my computer. I keep having to come back to this video at least once a week because this god-awful operating system keeps breaking. Every time I run the same "Repair System Files" code you have listed and every time all three scans show that the computer is running perfectly fine. Then and only then can I restart the windows explorer and actually be allowed to use my computer. Such an awful curse Microsoft released onto the world.

[@Athar_Irfan_reacts]

Same here brother

[@redcrunchy6703]

Same

[@FromTheHeart-777]

I feel the same. Worse thing I've ever done. Its like they don't want you to see what is running. I could see the taskbar this morning *new computer* and not its gone. Just more drama.

[@YoMonkeEe]

Just restart the pc by alt f4

[@idreesiqbal9921]

Same here!

[@Canajagua7azul]

Windows 11 was running perfectly for 6 months but after an update this problem appeared. I tried everything from other tutorials also, but I only fixed creating a new user. Many thanks!

[@catt-lim]

05:06 Perform System Restore works! The latest windows update on 15th Feb 2023 messed up my startup screen and the taskbar. I’ve been doing all restore practice and finally this works! Thank you so much!

[@forklike8122]

windows 11 is a total freak show. Every update is another nightmere.

[@amu3457]

THANKS SO MUCH IT WAS SO HARD TO DO THINGS WITHOUT THE TASKBAR TO ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME ISSUE I DID THE ONE AT 3:02 IT SHOULD WORK

[@faiqfowmy7624]

yep this worked for me

[@fadhilahedod3009]

AGREE! JUST STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMMENT, THEN IT WORK SO WELL. Thank you, y'all.

[@lefthangin4549]

what a legend . running the repair sorted my taskbar issue . im on a on a brand new gaming pc with a 4080 in.. i paid ALOT for this pc and then this happened , i was skeptical on weather or not i should run the cmd prompt. but i sent it , and it worked. thank you brother

[@Biotech_InsightHub]

Oh my god thank you so much!!!! I tried everything for like 4 hours until finally 5:05 worked for me! I have my exams in two days and the amount of anxious I was, was unimaginable, thanks a ton for such an amazing helpful video!

in 2023 , I use your instructions till Reinstall and Re-Register All Windows Apps- and Finally working fine now, Really thank you and appreciated !!!!

[@DileepMathew-mq6ed]

Thank you for the video, solved the problem by running the PowerShell option. The Windows installed on a fresh PC. I didn't imagine this kind of issue will occur. Great Help.

[@davidmukalay3536]

Thanks very much, I followed everything up to "Modify Registry" after restarting Windows it worked.

[@WindowsChimp]

Glad it helped

[@ghtechreview]

You sir are a lifesaver. 3:15 worked for me. Windows explorer kept restarting causing my screen to flicker every second and my taskbar to not show. Now it's all fixed.

[@tesyboom5611]

I've had the same problem! That was a lifesaver tip

[@Unaccounted1180]

I was having some trouble with my taskbar and restarting worked just fine Thanks

[@jonnyc7259]

Sorted my issues with the reinstall and re-register all windows app section, solved a few days of searching!

[@AngryCrochet]

thats the first time that the first solution form a tutorial worked for me for anything

[@Depressedemounfortunately]

Hey so uhm my Windows 11 problem is pretty different. It will most likely not be fixed, but I am still asking for your help. So like my Windows 11 has a black screen whenever I restart it. It never fixes. I tried to uninstall the update but I couldn't. I tried every method I can do but it did not work. And whenever I restart my Windows Explorer, it does not restart. Instead, it turns the screen black and never appears in the background processes. This has been an issue forever. Please provide me with some help.

[@tzerland]

Many thanks. For me the solution was the one in your Reinstall and Re-Register All Windows Apps- chapter

[@PradeepVerma-qw8mi]

[@carlosrodriguez1375]

Thanks so much I spent 2 days looking on how to fix my problem and honestly was starting to consider taking it to a repair shop but I was like let’s look at a couple of more videos and found yours and thank god I did your second option fixed my problem thanks 🙏

[@ACE38O]

yeeeessssss thank god! restarting windows explorer fixed my issue. thank you

[@-Unguardian-]

Sweet, the command PowerShell fix worked. My task bar on my gaming windows 11 PC appeared, thank you.

[@exactbanksy9901]

Just bought a brand new pre-build and the task bar was not showing. did the reinstall step and viola! it worked! thank you so much

[@jsicka401]

Restarting worked for me using the Alt+f4 route. I originally was able to restart by hitting the Windows key and selecting restart from the Start Menu there but that did not work. It didn’t shut down any programs or shut down the machine completely prior to restart. Thank you!

[@joemtac-al5629]

Oh god, thank you lord, the first one worked!!! Im so overjoyed

[@florian.graetz]

3:02 worked for me after a Windows Restart. Thank you so much dude. You saved my week.

[@mimi_ann]

I've tried all solutions. They don't work for me, mainly because my task manager doesn't even want to run, I can't even go to settings cause then it tells me my device is not ready or this: This File Does Not Have an App Associated With It. I've been trying and I just want to get my laptop to run.

[@adwicate1489]

5:07 Thanks, System restore solution worked for me. This is also one of the most simple and effective fixes.

[@watch6032]

I am currently downgrading to windows 10 but it’s probably an upgrade honestly… I have a laptop and two monitors I can run 2 monitors (including my laptop) but as soon as the third one is plugged in it disables my task bar and continuously flashes gray on all my monitors like it’s loading my display. I have tried resetting windows 11 but I’m just downloading windows 10 to hopefully fix this I will update if this fix worked.

[@johnybonny8262]

1 : Windows 11 Update was failed . so it resulted in this taskbar issue. 2: My taskbar is blank and settings are not opening even after pressing win + I or right clicking on taskbar so i cant create new user and i cant update windows 11 3: tried system restore ..didnt worked becoz restore point maybe also corrupted one ..... i have no solution right now But video was good . Straight to the point and well explained 👍🏻

[@ishtakulshrestha9666]

Wow restarted the windows explorer it worked thanks I can see my task bar thanks a lot

[@bernie4538]

Thank you so much,restarting the window explorer really help to make the taskbar visible again

[@zdravkocolic5728]

A very professionally made video, with maximum explanation. Thank you very much.

[@sonikop]

What if I say none of these worked for me🙃, you also won't believe like others, right? No problem. In my case non of these worked, restarting explorer does nothing at all, system restore fails idk why from evert point, on updating, issue increased and in all other fixes, nothing happened. I have been just watching tons of video & articles and trying, but nothing worked. Two options I didn't tried, I can do a fresh reset but can't, i leave in vilage, i don't have any hard disk or anything to have a backup or no one in my neighborhood & I want to stick and use windows 11 because at last it's design is dope🥺, i want to fix, not downgrade. Hope any magic happens a day comes, when i would stop searching fixes. Btw thanks for video, you tried your best.❤️ Going to watch another now...😓

[@rockpap]

So for me the solution was a bit different. Like a combination of 2 i suppose😂. So at first i tried just restarting the windows explorer but it didn't work. So i tried and tried various other options shown in the video. When i finished re-install and re-registering the windows apps (which alone didn't resolve the issue), thought to try the Restarting Windows Explorer again before restarting the windows. And Voilaa it worked! Thank you Windows Chimp!! For me the combination of(in sequence order) 3:00 and then 0:50 worked💜

[@OkaToka]

Modifying the registry is actualy worked for me. Thanks.

[@datkers6760]

Thanks bro you help me!. Oh yeah if you there's no explorer. Just click run new task and type "explorer.exe" done.

[@helifynoe9930]

Here was my situation. Shut down the computer, and then start up again. Here I have access to the Taskbar, and everything else. All seems just fine. However, if I restart the computer, the Taskbar does not respond at all when I click anywhere on it with my mouse. Even if I open Task Manager, via using keys, selecting the Windows Explorer also did not work. Clicking on it, did nothing. The cause of this problem was the fact that the mouse forward key switch was stuck in the closed position. Similar problems can occur when you restart, if you have a keyboard key stuck in the closed position as well. LOL

3:02 fixed it for me. I was really concerned but I'm happy to say this fixed my issue
