When I right-click an app icon pinned to the taskbar, the jump list doesn't appear.

I too am seeing what appears to be a reproducible regression affecting pinned taskbar apps on one Windows 11 25H2 desktop.
Symptom: Right-clicking any pinned taskbar app causes Explorer to hang for about 30 seconds and the Jump List never appears. Left-clicking works normally. Right-click on the Start menu and normal Explorer context menus also work normally.
I’ve tested multiple builds:
- 26200.8037 - works normally
- 26200.8875 (KB5101650) - problem appears
- 26200.8894 - same
- 26200.8973 (KB5101684 Preview) - same
Rolling back to 26200.8037 immediately resolves the issue every time.
I also have a laptop running 26200.8973 that does not have this problem, so it seems to be specific to this desktop.
Has anyone experienced pinned taskbar right-click/Jump List freezes after these updates or identified a conflicting shell extension, driver, or application?
