My Start Menu has suddenly stopped working properly. Instead of opening the menu, it restarts File Explorer every time I click the Start button or press the Win key.

I’m using Windows 10 and everything was fine until about 30 minutes ago. I ran a system file checker scan with sfc /scannow, which detected and fixed some corruption. I also tried using DISM commands in PowerShell:
DISM /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
DISM /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
All commands ran successfully, but the issue persists. Since I have all my app icons stored in the Start Menu, this problem is really frustrating. Is there another solution I can try?
