Perform a clean boot to eliminate software conflict causing the issue. If it doesn't happen in a clean boot, you have some software conflicting with Windows. Brink's procedure will help you weed out which one. Perform a Clean Boot in Windows 11 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts Tutorial
If you are using any third party tool that alters the GUI that would be the first one to look to as the culprit. Uninstall it)

If it still happens in clean boot, you need to test futher to determine if it's a windows problem or corruption within your account. Either create a new account to test with OR temporarily enable the hidden administrator account.
1. Open command prompt as administrator and type net user administrator /active:yes
2. Sign out of your account and sign in with the new administrator account

Report back your findings.

Sorry, but you either want to fix the problem or you don't.
It's my guess that some tweak you've done or some app you've installed is causing the problem. Booting into clean boot proves if it is an incompatible/defective app causing the problem. Testing with another account proves whether or not it's something you've done to alter your account.
