Either post a screenshot or reply with the windows version AND build. If you are up to date it will look like this.. If that is what you see, answer these questions.
Are you able to open task manager using search? In search box type task manager. The click on "task manager system" from search results.
Can you open task manager from power menu. Right click on start button. Select task manager from the list.
Are you running ANY 3rd party app that alters the GUI?
You say this is a clean install. Where did you get the iso you used to install 11? OR did you do an upgrade using windows update.
Have you attempted to make 11 look like 10 by altering the registry in any way?
