Sorry, assumes facts not in evidence:

The re-start after an update isn't allowing a complete reboot to occur. System clock presented via lock screen, .mouse click, moves to login text box. Keyboard not enabled, login screen closes, and the display is again showing time-date. Three attempts to restart system fail to bring up system. Cannot enter Safe Mode using F8, while sys. starts (presumably). Not finding here, old school way to enter Safe Mode, from power on reset!

kevomac12 I am having exactly the same issues after loading Windows 11. Worked fine at first, then all programs seemed to slow down and then would eventually freeze. B using Control + Alt + Del I would then be able to shutdown and reboot. Yesterday I had a blank (black) screen and when I try to restart in Safe Mode the Home screen with icons appear but all Windows 365 icons appear to be blank and the screen is flashing on and off. It would appear that there is some sort of driver issue but now I am stuck.

vanaspva I ended up having to reformat my computer and re-install Windows 11 and Office 365 and now it appears to be working after a few initial issues. This was not a happy experience and took over 24-hours to complete.
