Answer

Update TranslucentTB from Microsoft Store or its official GitHub release, choose a supported taskbar state, remove conflicting taskbar customizers, and reset the app if needed.

Prepare the task and protect the current state

Confirm the exact Windows or mobile device, account, application version, and intended result. Record the starting state and change one supported control at a time so the original configuration remains recoverable. Begin by confirming this task-specific prerequisite: Update TranslucentTB from Microsoft Store, or use the Windows 11 portable release linked by the project's official GitHub repository.

Install the current official build

Update TranslucentTB from Microsoft Store, or use the Windows 11 portable release linked by the project's official GitHub repository.

Choose a supported state

Open the tray icon and test Clear, Acrylic or Opaque. Blur is limited to Windows 10 and Windows 11 build 22000 according to the project.

Remove conflicts

Temporarily close other taskbar replacement or theming tools, then restart Windows Explorer and TranslucentTB.

Reset or reinstall

Use Settings > Apps > Installed apps > TranslucentTB > Advanced options to Repair or Reset, then reinstall from the official source if necessary.

Verify the complete result

Repeat the intended action with a harmless test and confirm this final condition: Use Settings > Apps > Installed apps > TranslucentTB > Advanced options to Repair or Reset, then reinstall from the official source if necessary. Reopen the relevant settings, destination, account, device, or application and compare it with the recorded starting state before deleting data, removing a recovery path, or relying on the change.

Use a reversible recovery path

If the result differs, undo only the latest change when possible, keep the original data, account, device configuration, driver, or installer intact, and compare the exact symptom with the linked TranslucentTB guidance. Record the version, time, error, and completed checks before contacting official support.
