How to fix Windows 11 Taskbar error?

As part of the July 2024 updates, Microsoft announced that it had addressed this issue. The company said the update will fix issues on devices running Windows 11 N with Media Features disabled.
Microsoft has announced that it is automatically pushing KB5040442 to Windows 11 devices. However, users can also update manually by checking for updates in Settings or downloading an installation package from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
The long-standing taskbar bug had affected many users since late June. The July package seems to fix the responsiveness and display issues.
While the most important bugs have been fixed, Microsoft still has a known enterprise licensing issue. Windows 11 Pro cannot be upgraded to Enterprise with a valid license key. The company confirmed that it is working on a solution but has not yet fixed it.
