Recurring fails with both Taskbar and True Launch Bar

OS Name Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19044 Build 19044
System Model ZenBook UX434FLC
System Type x64-based PC
True Launch Bar v7.5 (64 bit)


Recurring fails with both Taskbar and True Launch Bar.

Several times a day - as I’m working it happens virtually about every 5- 10 min - the pointer has no effect when I try to access the taskbar apps and TLB menus.

While taskbar/TLB is frozen, some actions on the desktop still continue: such as quitting an app window to taskbar.

But hover over TLB icons on the taskbar has no effect...

I've noticed a way that generates this condition. 
For example, clicking once on taskbar icons has no effect.
Moving the pointer CHANGES IT to a dark hourglass. 
It stays as a still hourglass as I move it along just the taskbar, but sometimes also on the desktop.

Clicking on taskbar icons a second or third time the taskbar and desktop quits and restarts as normal. 


Normal, except for a curious TLB action: once a menu is displayed, and the pointer moves outside it onto say the desktop, the menu does not close. Until I click outside.

All these restarts are driving me mad.
