A dock for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash out of the overview transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and desktops.

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the dock, but I have done this in the past and had problems. This could be an Ubuntu issue, but I have a feeling that the dash-to-dock extension may need checking for compatibility with gnome 45.2. The dock showed as disabled on reboot after the update. Enabling had no effect.

I rebooted and the dock was not present and was marked as disabled again.

Apologies. I disabled all my other extensions and the dock reappeared. I re-enabled them one at a time and discovered the problem. I had dash-to-panel installed, which is known to clash with dash-to-dock, so I removed it and have no more issues.
