How to finaly fix windows explorer.exe?

So, I have built a new pc a few days ago. I really like it, but there are a few problems. Apart from my bios which sometimes randomly flashes green for a sec after I use the bios menu, I've experienced problems upon startup. Firstly, after firing it up the taskbar, startingmenu and searchbar are not working. My curser only does the loading animation when hovering over them. They only start reacting after about 5-6 minutes, which is just not ok. I have to restart the explorer.exe using the taskmanager every time in order to speed it up. Sometimes I need to do it twice. So I think something related to the explorer.exe is not right, but I have no clue what it is. I would really appreciate a permanent solution as it is annoying as f#€k to do this every time I start up my pc (excuse my language please). Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the screenshots, everything looks okay, I do not see any problem indicated, most likely the Windows installation is jsut corrupt, the best option to stabilise your installation would be to perform an in-place repair with the Windows 10 ISO.

    Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO, not USB

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.
