Windows 10: Windows taskbar does not respond

Hi,


My Realtek audio Driver wont output to headphones via aux, so I did a system restart (not that this resolved the issue)


after the system restart I am unable to access explorer, If i click on the windows logo nothing happens, I have the same problem with:


ctrl + x -> settings, the wifi icon, battery icon, notification icon in the bottom right & cortana search.


I have tried all the fixes I could find online such as:


SFC Tool


dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Restarting the explorer.exe in task mngr


nothing has helped.


Thank you

:)

Windows 10 Taskbar icons missing/ not responding!

Hello Pasindu,

Windows 10 may have encountered a system file corruption that caused this taskbar issue. For us to assist you with this, kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any recent changes to your computer prior to this issue?
• What is the current build and version of your Windows 10? To check, type in
  winver on the search bar and press Enter.

Meanwhile, we suggest that restart the Windows Explorer.exe to refresh your taskbar functionality by following the steps below:

• Open Task Manager
  by right clicking the taskbar.
• Click More details at the bottom to expand the Task Manager window.
• Under the Processes tab, look for Windows Explorer.
• After selecting the Windows Explorer, click the Restart
  button at the bottom.
• It may take a few seconds and things like your taskbar and Start menu may disappear momentarily, but when it restarts, things should behave better and you can exit Task Manager.
  

We'll be waiting for your reply.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
