Many users have not hit this issue, while others have it on some device reboots, but not others. Workarounds: There are three possible workarounds possible for this scenario, each detailed below. If your taskbar is missing, allow the computer to sit idle for 5-6 minutes. Users have reported hearing an audible ding notification after which time the Taskbar reappears. Reboot the device.

Select the on-screen Power Button in the lower-right corner. Hold the Shift key and **** select Restart. (The device will reboot and enter the Windows Recovery Environment) On the "Choose an option" screen, select Troubleshoot Select Advanced options Select Uninstall updates Select Uninstall latest feature update If your device has BitLocker enabled, you will be prompted for the recovery key. Input the key and click Continue . On the next screen select Uninstall feature update The uninstall process will now begin. We appreciate your patience as we investigate this issue.

I don't know if it is just me but after updating to the latest build, the bug disappeared. It is normal again. Which latest Build? 23521? This thread specifically says 23516, I have not seen this reported in 23521 yet. 😎🤷♂️

A viable solution to the issue. I started having this issue as soon as 23516 update installed. It effected both home and professional. I usually just grumbled and launched Firefox to get my work done, and eventually (once as long as 10 minutes) it would finally decide to show up. I didn't notice if it would come back if I opened file explorer. I didn't stress too much, just figured it was a buggy dev release and the next would resolve the issue. Which it did. :)

The solution to the issue is to update to the latest Dev channel build.
