I have a high-performance desktop setup dedicated to managing Blue Iris and monitoring IP cameras. Despite its overall efficiency, the system encounters persistent startup issues that have been challenging to pinpoint and resolve.

Upon initiating Windows 11, the system frequently experiences a failure to load the Windows Explorer properly, leading to a non-responsive taskbar and delays in functional menu operations. This creates a frustrating user experience, requiring manual intervention such as forcing the closure and restart of explorer.exe using the ctrl+shift+esc command.

In some instances, although the taskbar loads, the initial start menu functions superficially, displaying pinned apps but failing to navigate beyond that point. Attempts to search for applications stall indefinitely, only resolving after a prolonged delay of approximately 15-20 minutes.

Despite these initial hiccups, once the system is fully operational, it performs reliably and supports the continuous recording of 16 cameras without interruptions. Despite attempts to address the issue through multiple reformatting processes, the problem persists. Task Manager consistently reports CPU utilization around 20% and memory utilization at 45%.
