Restart GNOME shell. Open the terminal and type:
setsid gnome-shell --replace
Press Enter again before you close the terminal.
setsid gnome-shell --replace restarts the GNOME shell without closing any open applications. For example, after restarting the GNOME shell an existing Firefox window and all of its existing tabs would remain open.

It would be nice of you to also add an explanation of what it exactly does. – jave.web May 04 '23 at 06:53

On Ubuntu 18.04, be cautious using:
setsid gnome-shell --replace
If you lock your computer, you will be unable to log back in. You will be stuck with an Authentication Incorrect error and will need to do a hard reset due to your keyboard not working for the login screen (no way to get to a shell either).
On Ubuntu 18.04, you can run:
killall -HUP gnome-shell
This will restart this as expected and has no negative affects
