Microsoft recently had an issue with a Windows update that caused PCs to go into a reboot loop. The company quickly stopped the rollout to address the problem. The KB5039302 update for Windows 11 was fixed and made available to users again.
However, a new bug has emerged with this update. Some users are now experiencing problems with their taskbar after installing the update. Specifically, Windows N users and Windows 11 users running versions 23H2 and 22H2 who have disabled “Media features” in Windows settings are reporting that the taskbar is no longer loading.
While this may not affect many users, those who are experiencing the issue can rest assured that Microsoft is aware of the problem and is working on a solution. The company plans to release a fix in one of the upcoming updates.
It’s important to note that when installing the KB5039302 update, Windows 11 now checks for virtualization software on your PC. If you have software like CloudPC, DevBox, Azure Virtual Desktop, or VMware running, you may not be able to install the update. This is a precautionary measure implemented by Microsoft to ensure compatibility.
