We have not ran it on the second host yet, as we had to stop it taking connections as it was causing so many. Initially it was on one host, and now it is happening on two hosts We ran the command on one host and it has fixed it. Microsoft updated its own blog with the following information: We are also running a 2019 RDS Farm and we have had this exact same issue with the Start Menu not working this week. But users, including ourselves, find that either uninstalling the latest updates or going back to an earlier Restore Point does not fix the problem.Īs a result, many people are stuck tonight. The workaround from Microsoft seems simple enough: roll back the update either through the OS or through Windows Recovery. Indeed, our own top-tier Core i9 desktop PC has suffered the same fate (but not our other three laptops). In one thread, there are over 200 comments so far from people all hit with the same problem.

While this is a known issue, going by Reddit tonight, it's a widespread one, not just a few random computers. To workaround this if you are impacted, please try going to Windows Update > Update history, uninstalling the latest cumulative update for Windows, and the reinstall it by checking for updates. We're investigating reports from Insiders in the Beta Channel where after upgrading to Windows 11, they are not seeing the new Taskbar and the Start menu doesn't work.
