This is a great hint, thanks. What I did is : Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and log out current account, then log in again. It's annoying to do this every time I reboot my computer but it works. Hopefully Microsoft will solov this soon.

I've just bumped into this issue tonight. It happened out of nowhere and is driving me mad. After 30 minutes to an hour of booting up the PC, i can also restart explorer through Task Manager and get it working, but a restart kills it once again. I've tried every proposed fix in the book to no avail. So i now have to keep my PC running, or hibernate as opposed to restart the PC
Let's be honest, this is an unacceptable bug for a major operating system, and being told to re-install the OS is a poor cover up for a glaring problem that can be fixed easily in an update if Microsoft actually bothered. I've heard this bug has existed since early builds of W11. Microsoft are aware of this, but their prescribed advice doesn't work. I will probably just revert back to Windows 10 if this is still an option, as W11 has just proved it's not reliable as an OS.
