Windows 10: Update KB5023706 bricks my PC

I recently tried installing a Windows update KB5023706, build 22621.1413 for my Windows 11 PC.

KB5023706 - Bug: To much space between taskbar icons

Hi,

follwing system: Notebook running with Windows 11 Version 22H2 (Build 22621.1413), no touchdevice, used als workstation pc with external keyboard, mouse and two displays additional to internal nootbookdisplay.

After installing win update KB5023706 space between the taskbar icons become to much(screenshot). I found no solution, someone wrote that is caused by windows using touchdevice, but this option ist not visible in my seetings, so i cant deactivate it. Im not using any touchdevice.

So next step deinstallation from update KB5023706. After deinstallation icon spacing normal again. But yesterday windows was running an forced update of KB5023706. Now i have the bug again.

Is there any solution, or have a to avoid KB5023706 for ever? Hope someone can help me.

PC bricks after Bios Update

Look in your manual. There's also a motherboard "jumper" that you can use to reset the BIOS to defaults.

Here is the location of the jumper: JBAT 1 You should just be able to short the jumper, and wait about 1-2 minutes, to set the BIOS to defaults.

When resetting the BIOS turn the comp OFF, and the switch on the power supply, OFF. Leave the power supply plugged in. Hold the case power switch IN for about 4 seconds to discharge things like capacitors.
Then short the jumper or remove the battery.











The other two methods. If you don't have the manual...
