Has anyone experienced the issue where the taskbar is not visible after installing the Windows Update KB5039302?

Hello,

I recently encountered an issue where my taskbar disappeared after installing the Windows Update: “2024-06 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5039302).”

Problem:

• Taskbar completely disappeared.
  
• Restarting Windows Explorer and other common troubleshooting steps didn’t help.
  
• Run SFC and DISM didn’t help.
  
• Repair Windows apps via PowerShell didn’t help.
  
• Check for Graphics Driver Updates didn’t help.
  
• Create a New User Account didn’t help.
  

My Solution:

• I started uninstalling windows updates starting from last one and after uninstalling the problematic update (KB5039302) and restart the taskbar returned.
  

Question: Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is there a way to prevent this update from causing problems in the future?

Thank you for your assistance!

 

I lost the Taskbar after update KB5039302

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

KB5039302 is an optional preview update released last month, it is the preview update of the July update that will be released next Tuesday, preview updates can be unstable and contain bugs, it is best not to install optional preview updates, below the list of updates in the Settings app is a switch for 'Get the latest updates as soon as they are released', turn off that switch to stop preview updates being installed, that KB5039302 update was reported to have been pulled by Microsoft because of a bug in that update.

Open the Settings App, then go to Windows updates - Installed Updates, then scroll to the bottom of that page and click Uninstall Updates, can you uninstall that preview update from there?
