If you're running Windows 11 and the Start Button & Search Box are unresponsive, it's likely that the Start Menu Experience process is crashing.
This was, in this case, caused by a bug in Acronis backup tool, specifically the Device Control feature. Acronis are working on a fix but it's advisable to disable Device Control in the Acronis portal. The Start Menu and Search Box will work normally after.
