I don’t know exactly what causes it; since there are a myriad of possibilities, but what you can do in lieu of doing a full restart is looking for the explorer.exe in your task manager and right clicking on that and clicking restart.

This will sometimes accomplish the same thing, usually fixes issues with UI components, like if you notice slow animation clicking the start button or opening folders or alternating windows.
