After updating the Windows 10, the right-click menu and taskbar are not functioning

After the system update, the right-click mouse menu has completely stopped working (clicks produce no response). Additionally, the taskbar (including the Start menu and system icons) cannot be opened or responded to. Please provide a quick fix or recovery solution.

    Restart your PC and force a shutdown during boot three times to trigger Automatic Repair.

    From Advanced options, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings.

    Click Restart, then select Enable Safe Mode.

    In Safe Mode, test if right-click and taskbar work.

    If they do, a third-party app or driver might be causing the issue.

    Sometimes, installing the latest updates or rolling back recent updates can fix bugs.

    Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

    Check for updates and install any available.
