  1. Windows 11 Taskbar disappeared and file explorer not working


    Hi, I've just booted up my PC today and I've suddenly lost my Taskbar, File explorer shows a white screen, and when I right click onto my desktop, it shows about a minute later.I've tried many of the fixes: Registry delete from one of the old insider programs, and restarting Windows Explorer.I also downloaded the recent update and this did nothing to fix my computer.If there is any other fixes please let me know.

    :)

    internet explorer 11 taskbar not grouping and invisible IE HELP!

    Hi john,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    I suggest you to reset Explorer.exe and check if it helps. You may follow the steps below.


      • 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.

    If issue still persists, I suggest you to reset Internet Explorer and verify the result.

    Change or reset Internet Explorer settings

    Disclaimer: Please note that resetting Internet Explorer Settings will reset all user-defined settings including those set by installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons to IE Defaults. This includes all Security,
    Privacy and Zone settings. Also this will clear browsing history, delete all temporary Internet Files, cookies, form data and especially all stored passwords.
