It should come back. If not, open a terminal [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [t] and type
plasmashell respawn
"systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service" fixed it.
Also have you seen the follow up post with the logs? Do you see anything that could have caused this behaviour?

(the logs after 11:00:00 are from me restarting it with the above command)
@agowa338 anything in `journalctl --user -e -u plasma-plasmashell.service`
@agowa338 this looks, like it was intentionally shut down - as if you executed `systemctl --user stop plasma-plasmashell.service` or stopped the Plasma Shell via the System Monitor.
Quite weird…
@eliasp well the last few lilnes are me restarting it, so..
@agowa338 but was the "crash" the event around 11:09:30 when it was "Stopping…" and "Stopped…"?
Or was this way earlier? If so, please scroll up (or limit the output using `--since` and `--until`) and see, whether you find any relevant lines at the expected moment.
@eliasp Just look at the timestamps. They're sufficiently far away from each other.
(computer was not shut down for days, so hence why there are no logs between the 6th and the 8th at 10am)
I'd assume that everything before 11:09:30 was from the crash (or the crash didn't generate any logs).
In the screenshot you see all relevant logs. Everything before that is from the 6th (aka 2 days ago, no logs between then and today at 10:07. Which is somewhere around where it crashed.
@agowa338 can you open krunner, open Konsole and run plasmashell?
It happened to me in the past, and what the above does is basically just starting Plasma again. Except the way i did it was use the Plasma Kill thing and clicked on taskbar lmao.
@tragivictoria doesn't work.
When I try to start plasmashell (by just writing `plasmashell` in Konsole)
```
QThreadStorage: entry 7 destroyed before end of thread 0x55e62cf07ca0
QThreadStorage: entry 2 destroyed before end of thread 0x55e62cf07ca0
QThreadStorage: entry 1 destroyed before end of thread 0x55e62cf07ca0
```
@agowa338 systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell?
@tragivictoria worked, see my other post when someone else suggested the same.
