A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

Faulting Application Path: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyew Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_10.0.26100.4768_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy.

Why this happened & what will be the solution. The Computer return to Initial setup mode and freeze, then after restarting it's come back to normal.

    Hi,
    The Start menu froze up, it seems.

    In the Windows search, 

    Type Powershell, right-click it, and choose Run as Administrator.

    Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost* | Reset-AppxPackage
    
    
    

    Let me know if the issue persists after that.
