I had a similar issue with 5.24.5... I think somewhere between 5.24.3 and 5.25.5 and frameworks 5.93 and 5.94. My solution was I used ALT+F2 and opened the settings. Then I selected 'restore previous desktop session' (I think it was called), applied it, and then 'start a new desktop session' from startup and shutdown. I logged out and logged back in and it seemed fix the problem. That fix doesn't seem to work for 5.25.
So I might try to install 5.25 and force install it again to see if that might fix it.
