I got freaked out a bit after updating and restarting. My secondary drive, with all my multimedia, wasn't recognized. It came back after restarted again, but it was a bit scary.

Windows 11 KB5034765 reportedly breaks taskbar, causing it to disappear​

According to various reports on Reddit and Microsoft's Feedback Hub, KB5034765 breaks Windows 11 by leaving blank space where its taskbar usually resides. As a result, affected customers cannot launch pinned apps, switch between running applications, access the Quick Setting menu, check the notification area, and more. In Windows, the taskbar is a cornerstone of the user interface, so losing access to it is a big problem.

Microsoft has not acknowledged the problem yet. Therefore, affected users need to figure out the problem and fix their computers without specific guides or workarounds from the Windows maker. Fortunately, it seems that you do not need deep knowledge of Windows to mend your system. Uninstalling KB5034765 helped some users resolve the problem.

Microsoft provides detailed steps to fix KB5034765 installation issues

To fix KB5034765 installation issues, you need to navigate to C:\$WinREAgent folder, then delete it. To complete the process, restart your PC.

One of the users on Reddit suggested this step, and now, Microsoft has mentioned detailed steps on its Learn website. Here is what you have to do:

Below are two possible ways to delete the C:\$WinREAgent folder.
1) Manually delete the folder: To delete a hidden folder in Windows 11, you need to first make the folder visible and then delete it.

1. Open File Explorer from the Taskbar, or by pressing Windows key + E.
2. Click on the three-dotted icon and select Options.
3. Go to the View tab and select the Show hidden files, folders, and drives option. Click the OK button to save the change.
4. Now, you should be able to see the hidden folder C:\$WinREAgent in File Explorer. Right-click the hidden folder C:\$WinREAgent and select Delete.

2) Run a script to delete the folder:

1. Open the start menu and type command prompt.
2. From the results displayed at the right side of the start menu, select ‘Run as administrator’.
3. On the command prompt, type the command rd /s /q “C:\$WinREAgent” and press enter.
4. If no message is displayed, it means the command has succeeded, and the folder has been deleted. You can proceed to close the command prompt window.
   Note that a message is only displayed if an error was encountered. In this case, we recommend deleting the folder manually.

Microsoft also mentioned that this is a temporary fix, and they’re working on a resolution for the problem and will provide an update in the next release.
