Windows 10: "Windows Shell Experience Host stopped working"

Every day while working on my surface book 2, the Start menu will crash and close in front of me. I've noticed that this happens every time that the Shell Experience host stopped working. This keeps happening to me since the first day I got this machine. its been months with the issue, it'll happen more than 10 times a day sometimes. Also the display of my SB2 freezes for a couple of seconds, and I need to turn the screen on and off.

I tried so many different fixes online. I even went to a Microsoft Store to and did a CLEAN windows installation, but the problem is back right after I got the Surface Book 2 back. I don't know what else to do. I have another Surface Book 2 at home that doesn't have this issue at all.

windows shell experience host terminated

I have perhaps a clue that may help you (or Microsoft). I first started seeing windows shell experience host closed from time to time when my PC started from sleep (event id 1002, closed because it stopped interacting
with Windows). But as I traced the events further, this was ALWAYS preceded by windows shell experience host closed upon PC going to sleep (event id 2484. terminated because it took too long to suspend).

Further examination and experiments point to this as a solution:

From Power Shell Admin:

Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanif

The problem returned after a improper shutdown (electrical outage), and the above command resolved it again.

My problem does not appear to be related to the OS version/patch, corruption, drivers, etc. Microsoft can weigh in, but I suggest trying this command in power shell before any time consuming or other risky updates. One last note, I rebooted after issuing
the power shell command, which may or may not be necessary.
