    I'm having this issue along with all sorts of taskbar and windows explorer issues. Rolling back updates did not help. It's now stopping me from running Settings, using search, notifications, and even the Windows icon on the taskbar. Without short cut keys, I get nowhere. Also, Settings, is failing no matter what; just a white screen and windows explorer crashes and restarts if you click on File Explorer. Everyday something else in Windows 11 stops working.
