Windows 10: Clicking the Start button crashes the desktop and restarts it

When I click the Start button, it doesn't open. Clicking the Start button crashes the desktop and restarts it, including the desktop background, desktop icons, and the taskbar. Restarting the PC doesn't seem to correct this problem. I'm on Windows 10 22H2, and I've updated to build 19045.4713. Also, I've enrolled in the Beta channel on Windows Insider Programme.Anyone else experience this problem? If so, please let me know.

File Explorer crashes after Right Click in Desktop


Download: ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows
NOTE: download version 1.97 or later, else Restart Explorer won't work in step 4

1. This program does not require installation, just right click and run as Administrator
2. From the menu, click on Options then click on Filter by Extension Type and select Context Menu. Also put check marks as shown
   
   
   
3. Click on the screen, Hold down CTRL Key+A to select all then click on the red button on top left corner to disable all.
4. Click on the Options again and select Restart Explorer
5. Now try to right click on desktop to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then start to enable one by one and repeat step 4 until the problem occurs again, that's the offending extension.

 

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

 

Big Problem! Start Button wont work, and Desktop Icons gone!

Suggests BSOD. Disable automatic restarting on system failure.
