Windows 11 crash - Win Explorer not working, taskbar blanked (no icons), apps reseted, files gone
- Feb 03, 2022
Unfortunately, I couldn't use system restore - they said there were no restoring points and I couldn't even open Settings.
What effectually solved the problem and brought my computer back, was to reinstall Windows 11 through a bootable device without deleting programs and files. Actually, although it was bootable, when I booted it said that I "couldn't do that 'update' while on boot" and that I should do it with the computer turned in. I did it (installed it from the Pendrive while the computer was on and logged), reinstalled Windows and now it is backed on, exactly like before.
Problem solved. Working like a charm. And most importantly, I did a point of restoration already! hahaha
