Display a gray background for a short duration once the system starts up
Hey there. You're experiencing an issue where your entire screen appears grey for a brief moment after the PC boots. You can only see your cursor and can access Task Manager, but other features like the Start Menu, search bar, or taskbar elements are unresponsive except for applications that are pinned. A temporary fix you found involved opening "explorer.exe" as a new task in Task Manager, but it didn't resolve the problem completely. You also tried updating your drivers, which helped with a related issue, though not fully. Your system specs include Windows 10, an MSI B450M PRO-VDH motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G CPU, Radeon graphics, and several storage drives. The issue began after launching Fallout 4, even without a dedicated GPU, and it started with a repeated Device Connection and Disconnection sound before the game launched. It seems to be related to a Windows-level glitch now.
Review my previous changes. Ensure you have an internet connection and restart the process.
It might be related to a problem on the Microsoft side as well. Please retry and check the situation. If the same error persists, it could also stem from the .NET framework on your machine. Follow the suggestions in this article: https://windowsreport.com/dism-source-files-not-found/
