Windows 11 and later updates were a pure mess. Microsoft does its best to make sure that it does not cause problems for the users, but the truth is that these happen frequently and sometimes at the expense of the users.
The latest issue popped up in Windows 11 and its Start Menu. After installing update KB5014668 and above, this item stops working perfectly and causes problems for users.
Windows users have always seen the Start Menu as one of the focal points of this system. After several less successful trials, it's back with Windows 10 and has been completely reworked into Windows 11.

Special Group Policy can be found in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> KB5014668 220721_04201 Known rollback issues -> Windows 11 (original version).
