Hi, thank you for that information. I'm glad it is working fine now. Moreover, if you still have the same issue going forward, I recommend doing the system restore.

Hello,
After the new KB5063842 update, my taskbar has a slight delay. When I have two tabs open and switch between them with the mouse, there is a noticeable delay, but alt-tabbing works flawlessly.
Same thing happens when I click show hidden icons via mouse on my taskbar.
I would also like to add that I have never had a problem with this.

2025-09-25T22:50:46.2666667+00:00 I found a partial solution to this problem. All you need to do is uncheck the option "animate controls and elements inside windows" in visual effects (search for sysdm.cpl)

2025-09-13T09:45:45.2066667+00:00 Hi, thank you for replying. Since the other account is okay, it would be better if you could run the in-place upgrade, as it will repair the device without deleting any data or apps in the PC, or I suggest running a system restore, wherein it will restore the PC how it was working properly. To do that, kindly follow the steps below:
Press the Windows key + R, then type in:
rstrui
Then hit OK.
Follow the prompts and select the time and date when the PC is working fine.
Follow the prompts again until it restores.

2025-09-12T08:39:16.2433333+00:00 Creating a new account helps, but I don't want to set everything up from scratch. Is there another solution to this problem?
I tried installing the new KB5065429 update, but it didn't help.
