Windows 10: Taskbar has disappeared and I cannot access the settings menu

Win 11Since about 36 hours ago now, my taskbar has disappeared and I cannot access the settings menu. Going into safe mode, I can access the start menu and shortcuts on the bar, but not the system tray or the settings, so I cannot uninstall any recent updates.I've triedISM / SFC comboReinstalling Windows from a USB keeping apps and personal filesRunning "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}" in powershellTried opening the settings menu from the cmd prompt, but it says it's not a valid programAny ide

Quick Access is Always Empty and Can't Pin Folders + Taskbar Programs Menu Disappeared

Basically I can't pin anymore. I'm not getting an error when I pin. Whenever I pin it's not appearing in quick access. But it appears on the file explorer jump list on the taskbar. I already tried other solutions like emptying these locations:

• %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\

• %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\
  

• %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\

but it doesn't work, it only made things worse. The jump list menu disappeared for pinned programs, like chrome ("start in incognito mode" and the like menus disappeared when i right clicked programs on taskbar).

Now i have 2 problems, quick access won't show my pinned folders and taskbar menu disappeared.

 

Taskbar disappears and unable to access the start menu icon.

Original Title: Taskbar

Sometimes most of the taskbar disappears and you cannot access the start menu icon.

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?
