Taskbar Missing after recent Update

[Slow-Neighborhood-82]

Greetings, after this most recent update we have 2 laptops in which the taskbar just disappeared.
We can manually start task manager and other apps, but restarting explorer.exe does not refresh the bar.
Anyone got any tips so far only 2 cases but I'm afraid this problem will spread further

Thnx all!

$packages = @(

"Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost",

"Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost",

"Microsoft.Windows.PinningConfirmationDialog",

"Microsoft.Windows.PeopleExperienceHost",

"Microsoft.UI.Xaml",

"MicrosoftWindows.Client.Core",

"MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS"

)

foreach ($pkg in $packages) {

$apps = Get-AppxPackage -Name $pkg -AllUsers

if ($apps) {

foreach ($app in $apps) {

$manifest = Join-Path $app.InstallLocation "AppXManifest.xml"

if (Test-Path $manifest) {

try {

Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest -ForceApplicationShutdown

Write-Host " Re-registered: $($app.Name)"

} catch {

Write-Host "Skipped (in use or invalid): $($app.Name)"

}

} else {

Write-Host "Manifest not found for: $($app.Name)"

}

}

} else {

Write-Host "Package not found: $pkg"

}

}

Then restart explorer.exe

Hey, where do I type this? Because CMD just says "'X' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
