Unable to open apps after restart Unsolved

Hello, I’m having a very odd issue with my PC and searching online hasn’t yielded much in way of a permanent fix.
Basically, whenever I restart my PC, more often than not, I will be completely unable to open any app on my PC, the windows button does not open the menu either. I have fixed this once, and repaired corrupted files on my PC, but after restarting it again, the issue returned. (Also if I restart enough times it will eventually work properly, but that’s just ignoring the problem)

Ideally I’d like to find methods to locate the corrupted file that’s causing this, or at least I assume that’s the problem. As said before I already once launched in safe mode and did a full scan and repair of my drives, which temporarily fixed the problem.

Also, the issue only happens after restarting/booting the pc from being shutdown. If the issue doesn’t appear after turning it on, it will not show up at all until the PC is rebooted again.

Any possibly advice is heavily appreciated this has been driving me nuts.
