Windows 10: Task bar is missing/black

I have upgraded from windows 10 to 11. Every other restart my computer is normal with the the task bar showing and the other times it’s missing and only a black bar shows. When I click in the black area the mouse turned into the blue circle that it’s thinking and then windows desktop refreshes but there is still no task bar just a black bar. I have to restart and it will come back. I did notice each time the password pin login takes about 20 seconds before I get in that’s when I don’t have a task bar but the time it’s normal I meter my pin and writhing 1-2 seconds I am logged in.
