The start menu refuses to open when I click the icon or Press the physical key on the keyboard. Also the search box glitches out or sometimes also refuses to open. Please help as I just reinstalled windows. I have all the latest drivers and anywhere I go I couldn't find the solution even after many weeks this problem persists.

I am using a entry level laptop from acer - Acer Aspire A315-56

CPU- i3-1005G1

GPU- Integrated UHD Graphics

RAM- 12gb

OS info - Windows 10 Home single language 22H2 (OS build 19045.5796)

Also don't tell me I have to reinstall windows again as I don't want to do it :D

    Hi

    Make sure run Windows Update and download and install all updates.

    Try perform Clean Boot and see if it resolve the problem, have a look at:
