How to fix Start and Taskbar problems on Windows 11

Microsoft Windows 11 development version and beta version launched recently have problems such as the unresponsive Taskbar and Start. This problem affects the normal use of many users.

After investigation, Microsoft found that the back-end server failure was the cause of this problem, and the incorrect content of the deployment was pushed to the user, causing some abnormalities in the system.

Including but not limited to the Start menu, Taskbar, Settings application, and other areas of the system where there is no response. At present, Microsoft has repaired server-related issues.
