System Tray icons don't work after update

Three updates were installed on 07/11/23: KB5028705, KB5028185, and KB5028851.  The System Tray icons stopped working properly after that.  Left-click does nothing while right-click does show options to open advanced options.  For example, left-click on the volume icon does nothing but right-click displays a contextual menu with options to troubleshoot sound problems, open volume mixer, or launch sound settings.  Likewise, left-click on the network icon does nothing while right-click displays a menu with one option to open Network and Internet settings.  Rebooting may fix the problem temporarily.  Thoughts on how to fix this?

    I recommend to use System Restore to return to previous state prior updates installed.

      KapilArya They are working again after uninstalling the updates.  But is that really the "fix"?  Is this a known issue that will be addressed in a subsequent update?  Posting that users should rollback updates doesn't address the root cause.

        It's a temporary fix I can suggest atm. Hopefully the issue will addressed in next updates, if it is labelled as known issue.
