Desktop Crashes at Random

Hey, so I just noticed today that randomly my taskbar will disappear, and then if I minimise whatever app I have open, its a black screen. If I Ctrl+Shift+F2, no terminal window opens. Only solution is a hard reset of the PC, even then sometimes it just happens again right after boot.

Hey, not sure if I can help with limited info about your system, but I have had weird behavior with my system (taskbar disappearing, black screens instead of default wallpaper etc,) and usually, restarting Kwin resolves all the issues for me

I have plasmashell --replace; sleep 2; kwin_x11 --replaceplasmashell --replace; sleep 2; kwin_x11 --replace set up to a keyboard shortcut so I can quickly restart Kwin
