A recent Insider update to Windows 11 adds a feature that blocks the Windows 10 taskbar from appearing. Even third-party apps like ExplorerPatcher cannot show the legacy taskbar.

My sole remaining serious complaint with the Windows 11 Start/Taskbar experience is the missing Jump Lists for anything pinned to Start. Ironically, Jump Lists work in the All Items part of start, but not for the apps you have pinned for quick access. So you can get your quick access to documents (via Jump Lists) only for apps you have said you don't to access quickly (those in All Items, but not those that are pinned).

MS has added back or provided sufficient alternatives for everything else from Windows 10 and older, except for the missing Jump Lists. This still costs me a few minutes of wasted time every day.
