The Start button and the taskbar stopped reacting to clicks.
Ctrl+Shift+Esc, find Windows Explorer in the list, right-click, Restart.
Flick to Restart Explorer: the taskbar comes back in a second, your open programs stay.
Windows fixes
The setting you need moved between Control Panel and Settings again.
Know the secret "God Mode" folder: a folder named with a long code that Windows opens as one list.
Flick to All settings: every Control Panel task in one searchable window.
No trick matches that. Try "PDF", "Excel" or "paste".
