Anyone interested might trying to enable or disable their network adapters.

It seems there has been some change with KB3047680 or 681 where the Network Adapter dialog window will close if you try to change the status.

Maybe it is just a fluke but a couple of more hours should tell.

Just checked my network adapters and all seems to be OK. I do have the bug, that by launching the Network Connections and right clicking to get properties, the whole thing vanishes. definitely a bug if you take that route. But I have always, since Windows 7 at least , used the method outlined by Max Green in his second post. Still working for me.
In your post on that page you do state it is the method you have used for 20 years. Well, this is Windows 10, many things are changing, for better or worse. Nevertheless, in essence, this does come over as a bug and I have also done a Me too.

I have no problem with the store. I see your link refers to a message of the 22nd July.

I installed that update.
Still the same problem with the right click -> properties but my taskbar stays on the bottom and doesn't switch to the top or any other location.
With something in the neighborhood of 72 hour remaining on the countdown clock, I hope someone is manning the coffee pot.

Only one of my systems exhibited the Task Bar behavior. On the Surround system, the Task Bar can be limited to the center monitor. After I click on the network adapter, the Task Bar goes from the bottom of the center monitor to the top of the left monitor... really fun, but no real problem.

They may have repaired this problem, I just checked on one system and it seems to work normally. Perhaps Security Update KB3074683.
