Windows 10: Windows 11 start menu stops responding after some time

The start menu in Windows 11 keeps freezing up after a period of time and I cannot click anything on it. For some reason, it starts responding again when I open up the Task Manager. I'm not shutting down anything or doing anything else at all on the Task Manager, but simply opening it does make the start menu responsive again for some reason. I have tried restarting the computer as well manually shutting down the start menu program and restarting it, but this problem still keeps coming up. Can anyone help me out with this please? Thank you.

Start menu, Cortana and explorer stop responding.


I upgraded to 10 from 8.1 on Friday and everything worked great. Suddenly, on the following Monday afternoon Windows began to act up. Either at the desktop or while in a game, suddenly the start menu and Cortana will stop responding. Usually shortly thereafter Explorer will stop responding, as well.

If I hover over items on the start bar - buttons, Cortana search, pinned applications, the system tray - the item will highlight like I can interact with it. But when I click, nothing happens. The start menu won’t open, Cortana won’t open, applications won’t start, etc.

This seems to happen between thirty and forty-five minutes after booting up. I checked the event logs for Application, Security and System; there are critical errors but after spending a few hours following up, those don’t seem to be related at all. I did not drill down any further than those logs.

I’ve attempted the solution at the following link, without any success. https://www.techmesto.com/fix-start-...nical-preview/ I’ve also attempted a system restore to the previous day when everything was still working, but again, no luck.

Has anyone experience these issues, too? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated; I’m out of ideas. Thank you!

Update: I've now been running two hours without issue so I don't think time is necessarily a factor. Also, the last thing I installed was VMware Player, if that is relevant at all. I'm uninstalling it now.

 

The start button and the metro apps stop responding.

* Original title: Surfacebook Start Menu

The Problem i am having is that from time to time. The start button and the metro apps stop responding. Also microsoft edge stop responding. The only way to fix it is to reboot the machine.

So i could be typing a paper then i can go to edge and navigate to a website like bing or google and once i try and close it by pressing the x nothing would happen. I am then unable to go to any different websites. I then try and go to start to try and launch
a different program and the start menu stops responding.

Has anyone had this issue before and what steps can i do to stop this from keep happening.
