Start Menu dysfunction after uninstalling KB5041587 update

After installing KB5041587 to test the performance enhancements related to AMD Ryzen Branch Prediction Optimizations on Windows 11 23H2, I didn't observe any noticeable improvements; instead, I experienced a decrease in performance.

 

Following the uninstallation of KB5041587, I encountered a Critical Error when attempting to use the Start Menu or search function, prompting me to sign out.

 

To address this issue, you can try restarting your computer or performing a system restore to a point before installing KB5041587. If the problem persists, you may need to seek assistance from Microsoft support or online forums to find a solution.

    If the issue persists, you may want to perform a system restore to revert your system to a state before you installed the update:

    • Search for Create a restore point in the Windows search bar and open it.
    • In the System Properties window, click on System Restore.
    • Follow the prompts to select a restore point before the KB5041587 installation.
    • Confirm and proceed with the restoration.
