Unclickable Desktop & Taskbar

I have an issue that doesn't affect Apex directly, but happens consistently enough with Apex to be connected; whenever I exit the game regardless of playtime, my taskbar and other desktop windows become unclickable with my mouse. If I try to run Apex again, the game will switch to windowed mode(when in fullscreen) and minimize itself anytime I click when prompted to Click Mouse1 to Continue

Running the Steam version of Apex on w10 20H2; RTX 3090 driver v457.09

    It sounds like Windows Explorer might be crashing based on what you described. If you haven't already, I'd recommend trying the Windows System File Checker to see if that helps. If there's a problem with the system files causing it to crash that may help fix the issue. 


    For more information on how to run it check out the Microsoft Support website. Let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a shot. Thanks!
