About this tag
The black taskbar tag covers user reports where the taskbar and desktop background turn black after restart, wake from sleep, or shutdown. Affected users can still interact with Windows normally, but desktop icons and taskbar items become invisible. Common causes include display driver issues, Windows updates, or third-party software like Mesh, though some cases occur without Mesh installed. Troubleshooting steps often involve updating graphics drivers, checking for recent Windows updates, or performing a clean boot to isolate conflicts.
