Windows 10: Win11 Internet and Sound Button is not responding to clicks

Hello,That button just freeze every day when I click on it to change sound output device. Restarting explorer helps, but it keeps happening for some reason. It especially happens after I restart my computer, at a random time after that. It's a minor annoyance but it's still annoying.Also is there a shortcut that switches between sound output devices I can use instead of clicking that?Thank you,

:)

WIN11 back to WIN10

thanks Megahertz, heres a little more info i knew it was GPT and my usb stick was done with RUFUS as GPT which i know works as i've used this usb to clean install on a couple of machines now, its actually 21H2. my other usb is 22H?, cant remember but i havent used that one yet.



cheers Rob - - - Updated - - - ok didnt do the WIN10 downgrade as i suppose i'll have to get used to WIN11 one day and i went with the full factory reset and restored to off the shelf condition. just to point out for others when i got to setup connection where you have to create a MS account i couldn't do it as local machine, there was no "skip this step" to byapss and setup later. _____________________________________________________________________________ Out-of-box experience (OOBE) disable internet requirement To set up a Windows 11 device without a Microsoft account disabling the internet requirements, use these steps: Disconnect then Ethernet network cable (if applicable).
