Hello! Here is my problem. The window titles no longer display in the taskbar. This means I have to navigate between different windows using the Task Manager.
I would like to know the cause of the problem and of course the solution. Thank you in advance.

I have solved the problem. Thanks to Mrihon, here is the solution:
1) By pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del simultaneously, access the Task Manager.
2) Select the process explorer.exe, then click the End Process button.
3) Click on File/New Task (Run…).
4) In the Open text box, type regedit and confirm by clicking OK.
5) In the Registry, delete these four keys:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StreamMRU
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars\{32683183-48a0-441b-a342-7c2a440a9478}\BarSize
6) Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
7) Check that none of these DWORD values contain the number 1 as the value data: NoBandCustomize - NoMovingBands - NoCloseDragDropBands - NoSetTaskbar - NoToolbarsOnTaskbar - NoSaveSettings - NoToolbarsOnTaskbar - NoSetTaskbar - NoActiveDesktop - ClassicShell
8) Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
9) Check that a DWORD value named NoCloseDragDropBands indeed has the number 0 as the value data.
10) In the same tree, delete a DWORD value named NoMovingBands.
11) Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
12) Ensure that the String value Shell only contains this in the Value Data text box: explorer.exe.
13) Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars\{32683183-48a0-441b-a342-7c2a440a9478}.
14) Delete a binary value named BarSize.
15) Go back to the Task Manager, then click on File/New Task (Run…).
16) In the Open text box, type explorer, and then confirm by clicking OK.
1) By pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del simultaneously, access the Task Manager.

Thank you very much for the explanations regarding the disappearance of the windows from the taskbar. I applied the method, with some fears, I must admit, as modifying the registry is not my strong suit.
However, I encountered a problem, which seems to have no consequences for now
Steps 8, 9, and 10 did not yield the expected results:
8) Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
9) Check that a DWORD value named NoCloseDragDropBands indeed contains the number 0 as its data.
10) In the same tree structure, delete the DWORD value named NoMovingBands.
I did not find the Group Policy Objects key.
After noticing the windows reappearing, I went back into regedit to check if, by chance, Windows had recreated this key and all its content. I found nothing.
Should I do something?
Thanks in advance for any additional advice.
