Win11 Taskbar Frequently Freezes
Clicking the taskbar icon often causes it to become unresponsive, leading to the entire explorer.exe process crashing and automatically restarting, which disrupts daily operations.

Hi Dylan, I would check Reliability Monitor right after the taskbar freeze to see which module is crashing `explorer.exe`. Then try a clean boot or disable startup tools, especially taskbar customizers, shell extensions, or context-menu utilities. If it still happens, run SFC/DISM and update the graphics driver.
