When I try to apply a global theme with the option selected: “Desktop and Window Layout”, the screen goes black and everything disappears including icons and the panel… the only thing I can do is launching Krunner (Plasma Search) then rebooting my machine via command line or doing a forced reboot
Graphics card details?X11 or Wayland. Likely to be relevant here…

That happened to me once during my many experiments with an old machine.
I turned it off, booted from sysrec, did a disk check, rebooted, and after
that the GUI was back and I was able to fix it.

Would you tell me the details of the disk check ? It may be helpful to me
Ok, so you’re using Plasma Wayland. The same happens for me. Search for existing bug reports first, and if necessary raise it here:
Sorry… That was weeks ago.
Just a standard disk check: for ext4:
e2fsck -vpf -C 0 /dev/{device name}
btrfs:
btrfs check /dev/{device name}
