Recently, my taskbar and file explorer have bugged out, and I haven’t been able to fix them. I’ve been on W11 for a while — this has never been a problem before. I've tried everything I know to fix it (admittedly not much) and haven't found any videos helpful; can anyone help me?

Looks like a color issue with the Light/Dark theme... go into Settings -> Personalization -> Colors and change Dark to Light (or vice versa) make sure it changes, then set it back to what you originally had and see if that helps.

Thank you, I tried this already and it still wouldn't work. The issue persists even with the light theme (it's just less noticeable)

It didn't detect any issues. I don't want to do a clean install of Windows if I can avoid it

@Udeyssey
The look of those elements in your screenshots remind me of High Contrast themes or Aero-Lite themes...,
are you running any of the like or other enhancements?
