Taskbar windows button doesn't work after windows update 22563.ni_release.220219-1637
Stardock Forums
After updating to Evaluation copy.Build 22563.ni_release.220219-1637 the right click on the windows start button will not work. The screen changes with the taskbar disappearing for a few moments and then the screen resets back showing the start button and the rest of the icons.
The new DEV build. I will give that a test myself and see if I can reproduce what you are saying.
The release note states that auto hide for the taskbar has been implemented. I suspect if there is an issue it will be based on that new feature.
I can confirm that right clicking on the start button does cause the explorer to freeze / restart on this build.
See Neowin article https://www.neowin.net/news/explorer-is-crashing-on-windows-11-latest-dev-build-22563-unofficial-workaround-out/
"This File Explorer crash is seemingly triggered when one presses Windows key + X to access the right-click menu on the Start button. After it crashes, the File Explorer apparently restarts on its own too. It is important to note that the issue apparently does not impact everyone as File Explorer on our test machines doesn't crash when triggering the Win + X shortcut."
Thanks pelaird. It is always hard to pinpoint what is broken when it comes to these experimental builds. Now we know.
I expect a new Dev build in a day or two though.
