In Windows 10, clicking the Start menu does not respond

A few days ago, after a Windows 10 automatic update, the system became very sluggish, and the Start menu stopped responding to clicks. After uninstalling the update and rolling back to the previous version, the sluggishness disappeared, but the Start menu issue persists: none of the Windows-related icons on the taskbar can be clicked.

Additionally, when using full-screen apps or games, the taskbar remains pinned to the bottom of the screen and does not automatically hide. Common solutions found online have not worked. Please help resolve this issue.

    Try to re-register Start Menu, see if that helps.

    Execute this command in administrative Windows PowerShell:

    Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
