Unresponsive Taskbar
Edition is Windows 10 Home
Version 1709
OS Build 16299.19
If further information is needed about my computers' specs, they are listed and up to date.
I have read various threads in separate forums on this site and was wondering if an update fix has been released in regards to the various problems associated with the Fall Creators Update (FCU) version 1709?
I know the sign out/sign back in trick works to get the task bar to be responsive again; but there are various other bugs I have encountered with this current OS build. When ejecting USB sticks, the icon is unresponsive...........well I could go on and on about the unresponsiveness of the task and start bar problems; but it got me to thinking about something.
I have used and employed many of the great workarounds presented by the great minds of this site and forums on this site and at many lengths the fixes suggested by members have worked. I draw the line at editing the registry, although I have successfully done it many times in the past in Windows 7 Home Edition.
The reason I won't edit certain things in the registry now, is because I am uncertain what the long term effects will be on future releases of OS builds. Is it possible that when a new OS build is released and we can't wait for fixes because we are anxious to use our computers, that when we edit the registry we are somehow interfering with how the new OS builds react with our current registry editing?
Well, I sort of went off track there, but I sometimes wonder if just leaving the registry alone (I haven't touched Windows 10 registry ever) would alleviate half the problems that are being reported. Then again, I have heard of this problem (the one I'm asking about if there is an update fix for) existing on clean installs of the current OS build I'm referring to. Also, I wonder if the workarounds cause the conflicts in new OS releases as well.
So to wrap this up, is there a way to fix the task and start bar problems in this latest OS build for the FCU?
