After installing the recently released Windows 11 security update KB5035853, I am experiencing issues with the taskbar becoming transparent and other display issues.
Win11 KB5035853 addresses 60 security vulnerabilities
This issue occurs in some environments and appears to be caused by installing a third-party UI customization app.
What we know now is that the problem is caused by ExplorerPatcher and has already been fixed in newer versions.
The update information for version 22621.3296.64.1 states:
This should fix the taskbar being transparent fully on recent builds such as 22635.3066 and 22621/22631.3296 despite not having any other customization software.
Google Translate:
This fixes an issue where the taskbar would become fully transparent in recent builds such as 22635.3066 and 22621/22631.3296 despite the absence of any other customization software.
Explorer Patcher
If the taskbar display is strange in an environment where Explorer Patcher is currently installed, try updating to the latest version or uninstalling it and then restarting your PC.
*After pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys simultaneously, you can restart the computer by clicking the power button at the bottom right.
If you don't know how to open the app uninstall screen, follow the steps below to open the "Installed Apps" screen.
1. Press Windows key + R to open Run, type the following command and press Enter:
ms-settings:appsfeatures-app2. The "Installed Apps" window will open. Find ExplorerPatcher and click "..." on the right to uninstall it.
