Windows 11 update doesn't skin taskbar or windowframes

Just what it says. Turned on my computer just now, and my taskbar and nothing is skinned.

Windows updated to 25H2 a week and a half ago and everything was working fine until this morning's update. It installed the 2026-03 .NET 8.0.25 Security Update for x64 Client (KB5081277) yesterday and I had no problems; this morning it installed 2026-03 Security Update (KB5079473) (26200.8037) and my customizations are GONE.

Anybody else have this unpleasant surprise? Do I need to roll back the update? Do something else?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I am the same Windows 11 v25H2 (OS Build 26200.8037) but I don't see the issue with my Windowblinds11 and Start11v2 running. Which Stardock software you have installed that change/customize your taskbar and WindowFrames?

Thank you,
Basj,
