The company has already fixed the issue with a known issue rollback. Known Issues Rollback is an update feature that restores certain features to their previous state. Microsoft has been using this feature extensively recently. Known Issues Rollback is only supported on unmanaged devices. Most Windows 10 users should never experience desktop and taskbar issues or have already resolved them. Diffusion can take up to 24 hours. The situation is different for company-managed devices. They do not automatically receive rollback commands for known issues. A system administrator must configure rollback using the operating system’s Group Policy. The first step requires the administrator to download her Group Policy data from Microsoft. Download links are provided on his website in Known Issues and Notices above. This should be installed in Group Policy. Once this is done, the administrator should open the Group Policy Editor and navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> of Group Policy below> to configure. Once configured, rollbacks are applied to known device issues. Windows 10 and 11 have been plagued with some issues lately. This week alone, Microsoft confirmed a Direct Access issue that was fixed in a known issue rollback. We have also seen login failures with Kerberos authentication and domain join processes that may fail. Windows 11 users may also experience performance issues with some games and apps running on their device. Microsoft has been quick to address the issue of the taskbar and desktop disappearing. Same day, they confirmed the issue and fixed it. It may still occur on some devices, especially if automatic updates are blocked on the device.
