Transparent taskbar

[Ropicek]

After the update KB5035853 (Win11) I have a transparent taskbar. My ExplorerPatcher version is 22621.2681.62.2. My taskbar style is Windows 10. Can you help me, please? I'd like to have a black taskbar. Thanks.

I have the exact same problem. EP was unable to download symbols probably because the Win 11 build is too recent.
I'm on the way to flush (EP) too unstable

I have the same issue on 2 different laptops. Both updated today to latest build and taskbar is transparent. Installing TranslucentTB will overlay it to make it less annoying, but I would prefer to not have yet another TSR app.

I agree
I don't want to modify the registry or change it with other apps

Same problem as you, hopefully fix soon. It is making my wallpaper engine laggy as well without the taskbar.

As a workaround, you can always uninstall the Windows Updates and pause them until a solution is provided. That's what I did for now.

This is what I did for the time being and paused updates since we don’t have an eta on a fix yet.

Problem is not Windows updates, it's ExplorerPatcher not able to cope with Win updates.
I personally uninstall EP on all my computers.
EP has the reputation to be unstable and may cause bigger problems than that (explorer crashing, windows not booting)

We are also experiencing the same symptoms
Version 22621.3007.63.3
Windows 11, OS build 22631.3296.

Fixed now with 22621.3296.64.1. Working fine on my side. FYI

Worked here as well. Fantastic job!
