  1. Taskbar freeze at start 20H2


    Hi! I got this trouble... Using the previous version of Windows 10 (ver 2009) everything works fine. Every time I update to the latest version (20H2), either with the 2009 version from Windows Update, or doing a clean installation of Windows with the ISO downloaded from Microsoft's website, the taskbar freezes at Windows startup. ..

    I found 2 "solutions", but in both there is a problem, I detail them below ...
    1) Wait literally 5 minutes (having Windows on an NVMe this seems like an exaggeration, totally unfeasible). Waiting for this exact time ( 20 seconds) the problem ends and all applications load.
    2)Press the Windows key or click on the same bar, by doing this a sign appears in the lower left part of the screen where I can choose between "end process" or cancel. If I choose to cancel, it remains frozen until it reaches 5 minutes as I detailed in the previous point; but if I choose the option to terminate process, the taskbar starts working automatically. The problem with doing this is that the applications that have to start with the Windows boot do not open until I start them all manually (and there are quite a few).

    TRANSLATE: The application is not responding. If you wait, the program may respond again. End process / Cancel.

    I leave a detail of all my hardware:
    -MOBO Aorus x570 Pro WiFi (rev 1.2).
    -Ryzen 5 5600x CPU.
    -RAM Aorus 4x8GB 3200MHz.
    -GPU GTX 1070 ROG Strix OC.
    -PSU EVGA 500w 80+ Bronze.
    -M.2 NVMe Patriot VPR100.
    -M.2 WD Green.
    -HDD WD Blue.
    -CASE Corsair 465x.

  2. Windows 20H2 Domain Join breaks Start Menu

    Upon doing a recovery of a system to start with a clean slate, it now installs 20H2. All looks good. Start menu and taskbar look normal.

    We then join it to our domain. Upon reboot, the start menu will not show the applications list. No option to expose it. Start menu settings shows "Show app list in start menu" greyed out. Trying to log out shows as the only option "Change Account Settings"
    Right clicking on taskbar, the task manager is greyed out. We checked the GPO for the start menu app list removal and it is listed as "not configured". Tried setting the local policy to different settings with no effect.

    Read thru the event viewer and nothing jumped out as related.

    All very strange. We are a hospital that has been running this AD schema for a number of years. It is based on Windows Server 2012 R2. We have over 250 systems with multiple levels of windows 10 Pro systems in production, with none of them showing these
    behaviors. At this point, 20H2 is unusable for us.

  3. taskbar tranparency

    Hi Dan,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will surely assist you with this.

    I would suggest you to change the desktop themes and check if you are able to see the transparent taskbar.

    If that doesn't help I would suggest you to end the explorer.exe and restart it and see if you are able to see the transparent taskbar.

    Please follow the steps below to restart explorer.exe:

    stop and start Explorer.exe


      • Right click on the taskbar and select task manager.

      • In the process Right click on windows explorer and end the task

      • Restart the task by clicking on the file and select new task

      • Type Explorer.exe and press enter.
    And see if it helps.

    Do let us know the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.

    Taskbar freeze at start 20H2

    Have New 20H2 Start (NOW)

    The 20H2 Start Menu can be 'released' from within 20H1.

    You will, still, do 20H2 via WU in October, BUT can have the new 20H2 Start Menu, now by doing the following:

    1. Open up Notepad.
    2. Paste the following text:

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\0\2093230218]

      "EnabledState"=dword:00000002

      "EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000

    3. Save the file as 'Start Menu.reg'.
    4. Run the file.
    5. Reboot

    now and, still, OS Build 19041.508

    Cheers,

    Drew
