Update: I grabbed the latest Win11 iso from https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11, mounted it, and did a fresh reinstall which fixed my issue. While probably not the most ideal and time-effective solution, it certainly worked. Prior to this I tried reinstalling the specific erroneous package per Event Viewer, but ran into yet another error regarding local system account not being able to execute said command despite being in an administrator shell on root user. If there is an alternate, better fix that allows one to remain on their current Windows Version, or perhaps one for the specific issue aforementioned (which if resolved potentially may eliminate the need for a reinstall) please let me know as it may be of use to others with the same issue/s

Does this problem start after you install the update?

Make sure report this issue using the Feedback Hub app too.- joshgroszJan 01, 2024Copper ContributorI uninstalled said update using wusa via the shell, but it seems like the issue is still persisting. Since I can't access settings whatsoever nor use links directing to settings it's quite problematic to say the least. Let me know if you have any further advice, I likely will report the issue using Feedback Hub.
