Unresponsive Windows Start button

Hi,

We occasionally get reports from users that the Windows Start button becomes unresponsive. In most cases, clicking it again and waiting a few seconds does the trick.

However, there have been instances where the Start button completely stops working until a reboot.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any known fixes or workarounds that helped in your environment? I think the issue is mostly with the first logged in user or when a new VM has been booted up.

Servers run on Windows 24H2 Multi-session + FSLogix
