Windows 10: Windows Update Makes my Taskbar unresponsive

Ever since one of the most recent updates, my taskbar would often become unresponsive. Hovering my mouse over it and trying to click on an app doesn't do anything. I just simply cannot interact with it. When this happens, if I have a browser open such as Edge or Chrome, I wouldn't be able to interact with it either. I can scroll in the browser, but I cannot close or interact with anything. Restarting Windows Explorer in the Task Manager works but I need a permanent solution to this problem. I tried updating several files, uninstalling the recent updates, updating drivers, even updating to Wind

Windows 10 Taskbar Unresponsive.

Dear Amma,

Sorry for the trouble, here are few steps that I would suggest:

• Press the Windows + X
• Open the Command Prompt (Admin)
• Now type the command as " Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
• Push Enter
• Restart the system.
• Now see if the issue persists
• If it persists the only option is to create a new user admin account.

Do let me know if it helped and please mark the answer as helpful if it helped.
