windows taskbar (explorer) not responding after startup

When I boot up my PC, why taskbar seems not to respond.
No Programms to launch are loaded, also the icons on the right side (beside the clock) do not show.

I can launch the taskmanager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and restart the explorer process, but it results in the same behavior as clicking on the taskbar.

The screen will flash black for a sec. and then the taskbar is still not responsive.

When I reboot my PC, sometime the problem is gone, somtimes it's right back.

Also after restarting the explorer process a few times, it seems to go back to normal.

This issue came up a few days ago. (I think after updating to 21H1)

I already did a fresh install from windows yesterday, so I don't know what I can do to it more.

Also I contacted the support, but the only solutions for my problem were:

  • reparing windows install (done)
  • reinstalling windows (done 2x)
  • reverting to an older version of windows (Version 2004) - which is not a proper solution.

Does someone have any clue where the issue is resulting from?

    Hello,

    I have the same problem. The computer is new and the windows installation is new, from scratch. The problem occurs from the moment you install windows from scratch, it also occurs when booting in safe mode.

    In my case, it is solved by clicking twice on the start button since windows explorer restarts and everything is going well, it only happens when starting.

    The PC is:

    Windows 10 last version in windows update

    Ryzen Threadripper 3990X

    Asus Zenith II Extreme Alpha

    RTX 3090 FE

    128GB RAM 3600 CL14

    Please I need help.

    Thank you,

    Regards,

    Miguel

    1. Click the Windows + X keys and select Settings
    2. Go to the Search tab and type: Choose which files and folders will be indexed and click on it
    3. The window will open, at the end of it click on Advanced Search Indexer Settings, click
    4. It will open a tab click on Advanced
    5. Click Recreate and OK

    NOTE: This procedure may take a while, when finished it will appear in the Successfully Completed tab, leave the pc alone performing the procedure and do not touch anything. After finishing, restart the pc and see if it works again.

    I'm waiting for news

    Hei Juh,

    Thanks for your effort and the reply.
