Solution 2: Running System File Checker

We can try running SFC and see if our problem gets solved. You will get one of the three responses when running SFC.

If an error was detected and was fixed using the above methods, restart your computer and check if the taskbar started working normally.
Solution 3: Re-registering the Start-Menu
We can also try re-registering the start menu from an application package present in your Windows Operating System. This will re-register all the default application on your computer. Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Solution 4: Making a New Account
You can ask the administrator to make you a new account or if you access to the administrative account, you make a new one yourself. We can guide you on how to make a new account so all the account settings in the new will be the same as your current account. This way you won’t feel any difference and also fix the problem. Note: If you have another account/accounts present on your computer, copy their data to a storage device and delete their accounts (if the problem is occurring in all the accounts). If the problem lies with just one account, don’t delete them and proceed with the following method.
