    How come everyone shows the same so called solutions on this issue and they do not work. It is amazing how many people make these videos that are exactly the same and the crazy part is that it does not work and the fact that anyone with any sense knows that this is the first and obvious thing you try.

      In my case I had to update the Explorer Patcher which is a program that allows you to be able to make changes back to how you had them before getting Windows 11 like moving your taskbar to the left side of your screen instead of the bottom, not sure if you have the explorer patcher but if you do then that could be what you need to do.@@rayszczepanski9049

    I realize that this didn't work for quite a few of you, but of course people that it didn't work for probably post at a 10 to 1 ratio vs people that it was very helpful. I followed these steps and after the 3rd step my problem was solved. I tried other methods and NONE of them worked until I watched and followed the instructions in this video. Back in my working days (been retired for about 5-7 years now) I used to know Windows inside out having taught Operating Systems various time at the university level. But since I've retired I hate to admit it, but I've gotten lazy and don't spend nearly enough time experimenting with Windows so I'm not as sharp as I used to be. Because of that I really appreciate the creator taking the time to post this video. And for those that it didn't solve your problem, keep trying but don't insult or trash the person that has really tired to help you.

      This is a really great comment, IskandarHack. I really love how measured and honest it is.

    Windows explorer constant crashes for me now, constantly have to do CTRL, ALT , DELETE and jump into the task manager several times to get it to resume as normal for 1 minute before it crashes again. none of these solutions work for me. I cant click start menu, any icons, everything freezes except the window I was already on.

      Try Repairing Windows
      Search cmd then run as admin and execute the following 3 commands one by one-
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
      Restart.
      Once Done Trying Running System File Checker SFC Scan
      sfc /scannow
      Restart.
      Windows Updates-
      Install all the latest Updates and then Restart the PC.

    Hello everyone! I used patches for Windows 11 that got buggy and I uninstalled them. And I got thus glitch. When I booted into Windows, I pressed Win+X and the glitch stopped and the only thing that was missing is the taskbar. I followed the steps and it is now working. Thank you so much!
