Companies will be unhappy about problems like you have, and may well have paid MS support contracts through which they can express their displeasure.

(I won't run Home, and stuff like this is a reason why.)

Running Home, unfortunately—cost of Professional is a bit much for me when I can just use a batch file to enable the GPE.

The issue turned out to be an incompatibility between KB5003637's "news and interests" and a shell extension I use. Updating the shell extension fixed things.
