Not necessary, if you let the installer overwrite the policy.xml.
I'm sure this problem has nothing to do with RAA. It's some kind of privilege problem of the windows shell.
Couldn't you find anything in the event log about a shell startup error!?
Try to revoke your admin rights (be a normal user) when RAA is uninstalled, will the windows shell startup normally in that case!?.

You mean, when uninstalled RAA (and/or deleted registry entries and %SYSTEMROOT%\Shim directory) everything got back to normal, than after reinstalled the program the same taskbar problem occures at the first (re)login!?.

Please try to uninstall than reinstall RAA, that should delete all registry settings.
Alternatively you can manually delete RAA registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RunAsAdmin.
Let me know please if it fixed the problem.
Thanks!

If the shell, in our case RunAsAdmin explorer.exe can not start correctly and it could not start the real (windows) explorer.exe, you will not see a taskbar either.
To fix this change back the shell registry entry to it's original value like suggested here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/runasadmin/forums/forum/543633/topic/1706114.

Unfortunately we heard that in some cases the task manager could not be started either.
In that case try to login as a different user or to edit the registry remotely.
RAA hijacks the task manager execution also if selected from settings.
You can revert that setting manually also if you delete the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution...
