Hi,

You can fix the Windows 11 taskbar not showing issue by deleting IrisService in the registry and restarting:

To do so, press Win+R and type cmd to launch the command prompt as an administrator.

Now copy the following command and paste it into the command prompt:

“reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0”

Your Windows PC will restart, and the issue should be resolved after the computer restarts.

Hi Yanhong, I'm having the same issue. I've tried deleting Iris Service via the method you posted. My computer restarted but the issue is still there. Are there any other ways to solve this issue? Thank you
