Windows 10: Cannot left click on win11 task bar icon

Having issue suddenly with win11 task bar. The far left windows icon - When i left click on it it does nothing. I can only right click on it. This means the menu box is not accessible. ALL other icons on the task bar I can left click on. This computer has the latest updates. I have tried SFC and other tests. I have tried safe mode. I have tried restarting explorer. How do I get the task bar to behave normally?TY, Dave w

Windows icon at left in the task bar fails...

.

The directions to fix this problem should read:

• Go through all the motions to create a useless account.
  
  Log Out and log into your usual account.
• The start button will now work for left click
• The task bar icons will now work for right-click.
• When you hover over the task bar open icons, the images will not get stuck on the screen which used to make you hover over another icon in the task bar to get them to disappear.
• Now you have to go in and figure out how to repair your Outlook because it got all scrupped with the new yet fake eddress but that is an entirely different operation.

P.S. How did my choice to use the unordered list end up skipping that second line?

Is this another MS feature?
