Right-clicking on taskbar shortcuts, Wi-Fi, or the clock area in Windows 11 also does not work

After the Windows 11 automatic update, I can left-click on taskbar shortcuts but cannot right-click them; when I click on the Wi-Fi, volume, or clock icons, I see a loading animation but they won’t open at all. The problem persists after restarting. Please help.

    The issues you're experiencing after the Windows 11 update—being unable to right-click taskbar shortcuts and the Wi-Fi, volume, or clock icons not opening—are likely related to a system glitch or a corrupted component caused by the update.

    Disable the "System" app in the Task Manager: Open the Task Manager, navigate to the "Startup" tab, and disable the "System" app. This will prevent the System app from running at startup.
