Latest Cumulative Update For Windows 11 Insider Preview - Black Screen With Cursor - Where To Report
I'm not sure how to report this issue, since installing the update causes the PC to be unusable. I was able to back off the update using a recent Macrium image, but I would like to be able to let the...
The reason for your problems is (Macrium) if you want to install the Insider version then it is best to perform a clean Windows installation first, rather if after the system recovery by Macrium, there will again be an Insider update error 🙂

Macrium is NOT the problem. It's amazing and saved my bacon this time and MANY other times.
I believe the issue is not the update, but a tool I'm using called StartAllBack that gives better control of the Windows 11 taskbar and Start Menu. It apparently has an issue that the dev discovered and patched with an immediate release. Kudos to him, but his communication has been lacking and I'm left unsure if his tool is the issue. I'm fairly confident that it was, because after the update to StartAllBack was completed (after a Macrium restoration of the image), the update installed without the issue.
You should take a look at Macrium. It regularly backs up full system images across all partitions and gives you a tool to create a bootable USB with a Windows RE operating system, drivers and Macrium restoration software that is already pathed to the location of your images. It will automatically build an image based on the full and differential images you select. Great stuff!Always applications with the highest privileges can cause conflict, and can be a threat to the operating system, so I have a question how long have you been in the Insider program?
In which channel and what build did the error occur?
