Windows 11 tool bar goes blank and unknown process keeps running...

Windows is very slow to respond, rebooting does not fix issue. Many solutions attempted - only method that worked is advancing the date in bios by 1 or 2 days. This corrected the problem for now are there any other solutions?

What is the name of the unknown process?
Have you tried updating Windows?
Is there any error message?
Are you facing the same issue in the Safe Mode?

Hello Reza, Thank you, the process showed "Services", antivirus shows no issues, a windows 11 update may have been the cause of the issue. No error messages, did not try safe mode, found another forum that shared by advancing the date in BIOS for some reason corrects Toolbar issue and the slow response from Windows 11. All is working fine now, was looking for another method.

Hi @EricMitchellette-5021,

There was an official announcement about settings and other areas of the operating system that wouldn't load or being unresponsive, have a look here:

Hello LT,
Thank you, great ideas for Windows performance and will use your tips. Leon's post is what I needed after a Window's 11 update caused an issue with my PC.
