Thanks for your response.
Sorry for the delay, I did respond but on review I must have done something wrong because the post is not showing.
To answer your questions:- When I tried the repair it did not work, I do have a recovery usb stick and can get to the command prompt. As I mentioned in the OP I have reinstalled Win 11 from scratch and everything works, although I can still restore the failed system on a spare disk from the backups if you have any suggestions on how to return it to working order.- Reza_AmeriMar 13, 2022Silver ContributorThank you for the follow up.
In case you have access to log files of the failed system, then you may submit a bug report using Windows Feedback Hub app.
This way the Windows team would be able to review and investigate the issue.- joecrowMar 15, 2022Copper ContributorThanks, I will do that.

Thanks for the fast response, Repair did not help it remained inaccessible....
the Recovery disk did give me an option for command prompt though.
