Windows 11 Task bar missing

[Kiran Kumar Jinka]

1. Start menu and the task bar missing
2. Tried restart of the machine, no use
3. Tried restart of Windows Explorer no use
4. Tried opening a desktop icon (shortcut to a file folder), file explorer opens up but no refresh happens (just a blank white screen)
5. Can't run any command using Windows + R either - nothing happens

my bar is showing at the bottom but there are no buttons on it. I can click on Microsoft edge from the desktop and it will come up but if i happen to minimize it i can never get it to come back up. If i move a mouse over the bar i get a spin wheel but no matter how long i wait icons never load. Windows is not usable in this format. Please can something be done? Or do i need to roll my system back to windows 10. I've tried rebooting. that doesnt fix it. I was able to reboot by pressing Ctl-alt-delete and the menu comes up. but I can not get the start menu at all.

• Step 1: Use CTRL-ALT-DEL and choose to open Task Manager.
• Step 2: Choose “More details” at the bottom of Task Manager to expand Task Manager.
• Step 3: Go to “File” and choose “Run new task”.
• Step 4: Type “cmd” in the “Open” field.
• Step 5: Paste the following (everything in bold):
  reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0
• Step 6: Hit enter, and then your PC should reboot. After rebooting, everything should be back to normal.

that link doesnt load for me. I'm on a Ubuntu box with Firefox and it just sits and loads but link never comes up. My Windows 11 box wont let me do anything... So I'm a little lost what to do.
Nevermind it finally loaded. I'll try what it says to do.

Ok that fixed me. Thank you.
