    Problems with KB5040442


    After I installed KB5040442, the Copilot icon disappeared from the taskbar on both my Win 11 computers. Both are 23h2, up to date with Windows update, and both are signed in with 2 separate Microsoft accounts. Anyone else seen this?

    The update KB5040442 broke my taskbar

    Hello

    From what I can find online, there have been a problem with a previous update breaking the Windows 11 taskbar and KB5040442 should fix it.

    The only problem is, that I did not have a problem with my taskbar, but after installing the update KB5040442 my taskbar has completely broken.

    Nothing shows up, and pressing the Windows key does not give me a menu.

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    Need some advice on computer problems.

    Run HDtune (free version) on you hard drive. but most likely that the problem. You can also test your memory with Memtest86 as suggested above
