Panels Not Responding Windows 2022 Standard Server

I have a very strange issue that happened right in the middle of working in WWB tonight.
I have WWB installed on a Windows 2022 Standard Server. I am actually developing right on my server as I have IIS and mySQL installed on this same server.
I have been running WWB now for the better part of 2-weeks on this server with no issues.
Tonight all of a sudden the Properties, Site Manager and Object Manager panels cannot be moved or any options selected in them.
Note: The ToolBox Panel works 100% and is responsive.
I can click up in the Top-Bar View checkmark options and by checking and unchecking, these panels will disappear and reappear.
I have rebooted the server and end up with the same issue?
I then completely uninstalled WWB, rebooted the server and reinstalled WWB. Got the same issue as these panels unresponsive.
I then uninstalled WWB again and rebooted the server and then reinstalled WWB via right-clicking and installing as Administrator and I have exactly the same issue.
WWB installed on my Windows 11 workstation is working as expected.
How do I get WWB working again on the Windows 2022 Server?
Pete,

I resolved the issue with WWB.
I uninstalled Windows update 21H2
Rebooted the server.
Downloaded and reinstalled Windows update 21H2
Rebooted my server.
WWB's panels now all respond.

Pete,

Note that the 'panels' are standard Windows functionality, so I have no control how this functionality works.
But this may be helpful:

Hi Pablo,
Thanks for that bit of info on the regkey that controls panel default placements and that .dat file.
Windows updates are at times a pain.
Pete,
