Windows 11: Fix unresponsive start and taskbar

If you have a device enrolled in the Windows 11 Dev or Beta channels of the Windows Insider program, you probably noticed that the last update to Build 22449 and Build 22000.176 left the Start menu and taskbar unresponsive and Settings and other elements of the operating system failing to load.

According to Microsoft, this issue occurred due to a server-side deployment (which is not explained in detail) and that deployment was aborted. In case you encountered this issue, the company has issued a workaround to get Windows 11 back to normal.

In this guide, we will show you how to fix the usability issues caused by the September 2 update for Windows 11. (To fix this issue, also watch this video tutorial on Pureinfotech YouTube channel.)
