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

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.

"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.

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Bhai kasam se thank you dil se yaar love you 5 bala mera work kar gya pata 5 din se pareshan tha

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

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

Of all the videos I've watched and articles I've read, this was the only solution that worked. Thank you so much! But I'd like to ask what should I do if my files had gone after updating my laptop to windows 11.

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

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

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!

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

Really thank you so much I am trying to fix from 3 to 4 hours but in 5 min you gives me the solution I am thankful of you 👍

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

Thank u so much brooo, the first option worked for me, since my Ctrl keyboard isn't working

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

Thank you so much dude!!!!

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

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.

5:05 worked for me. Thanks a lot!

LETS GO! I tried 10 or so different ways to get the taskbar working the re-register method worked. You're a champion bro bless you 🙏 🙌

date and time on the right have gone down below the screen how to fix it?

Omg! This is a miracle. I am really grateful for your video. It worked for me..!! Thanks a lottt

Thank you so much for me 3:05 worked Reinstall and Reregister

Thank you... Thought I had to spend 💰 on this. First step definitely worked. Though, took a while to restart.

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 👍🏻

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💜

Thanks for your help, system restore helped me to resolve the issue, even our technical team guys were unable to support me. Wonderful job keep it up...

This video is magic. Saved me from formatting my PC. Thank you.

Thank you. Reinstall and Re-Register All Windows Apps- step worked for me

Thank you ❤ it works.. I was so much worried just now. This video have an easy explanation and helpful thanks

Dude if my laptop is not showing anything below in taskbar how can use crome or Google to copy ur description comment?

Restarting windows explorer works! Thanks❤

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.

The video helped me get back the taskbar in my lap. Thanks a lot, you've got a new subscriber. Kudos.

OKG THANK YOU MAN YOURE A LIFE SAVER YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I BEEN TRYING TO FIX THIS OMG THANKS

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...😓

Thank you a trillion times. I had to do every thing up to restart registration. You are a life saver. ❤ Just in case how do we uninstall windows 11 and go back to windows 10😅
