    Windows 11 Pro - Taskbar keeps locking up when switching around from desktops to VMs


    I have Windows 11 Pro, use Hyper-V for various VMs, and also a VMWare Horizon Client for other VMs.Quite often my Explorer.exe will lock up / freeze and I have to restart it with CTRL+ALT+DEL.Any ideas why my taskbar keeps freezing up?Any way to stop that from happening without me having to stop using all my different programs and/or get it to fix itself automatically?Thanks!

    :)
