Windows 10: Windows 11 gray screen

There's a gray screen on my windows 11. There seems to be two black bars, and one white bar that i can move around. I can still use alt tab to navigate my windows, but the taskbar, home screen, and start menu don't work. All I was doing was trying to use control panel to repair something, which told me to shut down windows explorer, however the repair failed.

Thanks for your informative post!

I had solved my 2D & gray screen issue using advice posted by erocker (see below)
Mainly it involves creating a profile and putting higher 2D clocks:

Great post! I have a Sapphire HD 5750 sitting on the shelf going to waste due to the gray screen crash. I run dual monitors and mine crashes randomly in 2D and is guaranteed to gray screen playing any kind of video.

A few months ago I tried this method to no avail. The clocks stayed up just fine but it didn't help my crashing problem.

This post has motivated me to maybe find a reference HD 5750 bios of another brand and try flashing.

I've never flashed a video card, any suggestions or links where I might find a bios and flash utility?

Thanks again for the great post.
