When I am using Classic Start, whenever I click the start button or press the windows key on my keyboard, the entire taskbar freezes up, the button remains frozen in the press position, and it gets a little black box around it, with a spinning pointer on the taskbar and black box. Upon clicking the black box, it turns white, the entire taskbar becomes one color, without any icons, and the desktop changes to match it. Then after a few seconds, it goes back to normal, except with the original start button rather than the one implemented with Classic Start. Then after a few seconds, the classic start button is back, and it works for ONE CLICK. Then the entire process starts again after the start button is minimized, and sometimes, it takes a matter of five to ten minutes to get it working again, and during that time, I have no access to the taskbar. I have no love for the windows 10 start button, but if it persists, then I may be forced to switch back to it against my wishes. Could someone please help me with this? If you need any more details about the problem then let me know.

Please capture a slowdown dump and attach it here so it can be analyzed for the cause of the slowdown: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6
