Microsoft: Windows 11 preview update causes taskbar crashes - Bleeping Computer

Microsoft warned customers on Thursday that the May 2024 non-security preview update for Windows 11 is causing taskbar crashes and glitches.
This month's KB5037853 optional update was released on Thursday, and it fixes multiple File Explorer problems and 32 other issues.
Today, one day after this cumulative update was rolled out, Redmond added a new known issue to the KB5037853 support document confirming that Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2 users might experience taskbar issues.
"After installing this update, you might face issues using the taskbar. You might notice the taskbar temporarily glitching, not responding, disappearing, and reappearing automatically," the company said.
"Additionally, this issue might be reflected in the Event Viewer with Application Error ‘Event ID 1000’ under Windows Logs, listing 'Explorer.EXE' as the 'Faulting application name' and 'Taskbar.View.dll' as the 'Faulting module name'."
Microsoft also released the optional KB5037849 Preview cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 yesterday.
This update is impacted by four known issues, including two long-time problems where Copilot is causing icons to jump between displays and not being supported when using a vertical taskbar.
The other two are Microsoft Connected Cache (MCC) node discovery being broken when using DHCP Option 235, and Windows users seeing 0x80070520 errors when trying to change their accounts' profile pictures.
