Windows 10: Nothing showing up on taskbar

I have a problem with my pc, out of nowhere nothing started showing on taskbar. No shortcuts, active apps, notifications and notification centre. Ive tried the cmd command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, yet no corrupted system files. I tried restarting explorer.exe, and whole pc but nothing helped.
