>>1551177I'll tell you exactly what happened, explorer.exe (taskbar, desktop, and file manager) fucking crashed like it always does. When the process locks up the cursor will have the spinning animation and clicking won't work on any of those three components. If you spam click/if enough time passes the system will eventually kill and restart it.
I know because I've had this issue since Vista where the thumbnailing service or whatever gets cooked and causes explorer.exe to frequently stop thumbnailing properly/lag/hang/crash. At least nowadays they have more stuff in place to detect a hang/crash and bring it back up. I'm going through this shit even now on W10, fucking shitass Indian software. Praying hard that the Windows 11 anti-adoption push finally brings about TYOTLD but I'm not holding my breath..
