Taskbar apps disappear after encrypting drive with Bitlocker
After enabling Bitlocker and encrypting my C drive (running Win 8.1), my pinned applications no longer appear in the taskbar. It is just completely blank. If a launch an app, it still appears in the taskbar. If I keep rebooting my computer, normally 1 out of 5 times the apps will all appear. The other 4 times, my OS boots with a completely blank taskbar (the taskbar tray is fine though). I am positive this is due to Bitlocker encryption because it started happening immediately after encrypting the drive, and I hadn't changed anything else on my system. Anyone else experiencing this with Bitlocker?

Hi,

I made a test using Windows 8.1. I pined some application to Taskbar, then using BitLocker encrypt C driver. After restart the system a few times, the problem as you described doesn't appear.

For your problem, do you use Roaming profile? If that it is, this problem might be occurs.
