KDE Plasma starts but does not respond

[brahma]

rerun update again, to see if you are up to date…
and it looks like this issue:

Programs only open with Krunner, desktop icons missing after 2-12-2023 Update

The issue seems to be within the file .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, specifically within this section: [ScreenMapping] itemsOnDisabledScreens= After deleting the section (best to use vim or something that works on ~20 MB file), and rebooting, everything is back to normal.

if editing the config doestn work, rename the .config folder as instructed in the same link
