Today, when I rebooted my system, a strange issue occurred. Despite running scans that detected no problems, including chkdsk, sfc, and using Avast antivirus, I encountered a glitch where Explorer would not respond. 

After rebooting with diagnostic level boot via msconfig and disabling all programs except Microsoft’s services, Explorer worked fine. However, as I gradually enabled Microsoft services, the issue reappeared. I have repeated this cycle multiple times but haven’t been able to identify the specific service causing the problem.

I am hesitant to perform a clean install as I recently switched from the insider to the public version, and I never experienced this issue while on the insider versions. If anyone has any insights or solutions to this perplexing problem, I would greatly appreciate it. The image attached shows how Explorer appears when all Microsoft services are running, contrasting with the expected minimal appearance when only essential services are active. Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.
