Start menu broken

I've had a problem that's been bothering me for a long time, but fortunately I can still fix it after the fact...
So here's the status:
1) WIN 11 ISO optimized with NTLite (the problem has been around for a long time, so it's regardless of the version) 99% of the time, still the same optimization (preset attached).
2) Installing MS Webview2 Runtime (MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe vers. 148.0.3967.83)
3) After rebooting, the Start Menu is broken (see screenshot)
4) To fix the problem, I ran sfc /scannow and rebooted
5) The problem is solved

I'm asking you and nuhi garlin tistou77- because I've tried everything but haven't been able to pinpoint the cause:
1) It could be due to NTLite (because that error doesn't appear with unprocessed ISO images)
2) It could possibly be due to some optimization I made (I can provide the preset if you'd like)
3) Is there any other way besides sfc /scannow (I also have the setup log for it, but I don't know how to read it...)

Thanks to anyone who will waste their time on this problem.

Looking at the CBS.log, DISM is repairing the DLL's for Client.CBS (where Start Menu lives) and other UWP apps.

So the problem starts when you install WebView2 Runtime? What happens if you install the older 147.0.3912.98?

Idem.
This problem has been going on for a long time (NTLite versions 10xxx) since I noticed it (Webview2 Runtime versions 2025), which I solved with sfc /scannow.
My impression is that NTLite, in its work on apps, etc., left something unfinished that then became apparent when installing Webview2.

But honestly, I really don't know where to point...
Tnx Garlin
