Hi everyone, I have an HP Omen 16 model 16-b1777ng. My Alt+Tab and the Windows+Tab key on the taskbar aren't working anymore either. The button for "task view" isn't responding, but tapping my touchpad lets me switch windows easily. However, pressing Win+Space doesn't change the keyboard layout. It seems like Task View is broken and I can't fix it myself. Maybe some third-party software is interfering since I'm using the Windows Shell. Can anyone give any tips? Thanks for your help... (Version: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, build 22621.2134, all of a sudden)

Right click somewhere on your taskbar to show a menu. Choose "Taskbar settings." Then go to Personalization, find Taskbar configuration, and check those boxes.

Do you use a program called Explorer patcher when I can find it breaking taskview earlier this year? This might help right click start choose terminal (admin) if it doesn't open as Powershell, click the drop down arrow and pick it from list copy paste this command into window: Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter once it completes, type SFC /scannow and press enter Restart PC if SFC fixes any files as some fixes require a restart to be implemented First command repairs the files SFC uses to clean files, and SFC fixes system files SFC = System File Checker. First command runs DISM - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...windows-11 Did you get any windows updates just before problem started? You are on latest version, so an update happened last week.
