I use a dual monitor configuration. When I click the Windows button from my right screen, the left side would freeze as shown in the video. Then it would remain stuck for a few seconds. I attempted pressing Ctrl + Shift + Windows key + B simultaneously. I also tried opening Task Manager and restarting File Explorer, but nothing resolved the problem. I suspect the wallpaper engine could be the cause, though that didn’t match. Even after completely disabling the wallpaper engine and reinstalling it from a cloud download, the issue persisted briefly after reinstall. This is my new computer, and this is the only problem I’ve encountered.

It's helpful to conceal the search bar. Pressing Win + S or using the Start menu will initiate a search even after hiding it. You can also hide it by right-clicking the taskbar and selecting Search > Hidden. Since you mentioned no specific issue, I won't offer further guidance unless it becomes a significant concern. Hope this provides some comfort.

I concur unless you deem the search helpful; I’d turn it off. You also have the option to customize displays without a taskbar on either screen, unless that suits your needs more.

It seems like you're trying to convey a message that doesn't impact anything further if concealed. Appreciate the understanding.
