Actually, I was able to just hide the update, system's working now, I'll just wait for the next one.

I've had the same issue with the last two updates 1028 and now 22623.1037. I did a rollback to 1022 to fix the issue the first time. However, I found that when booting into safe mode (before doing the rollback) that the reason explorer.exe wouldn't run was that Windows itself was detecting that explorer.exe had a potential stack overflow issue and so would not run it (this message only shows in safe mode not normal mode). Strangely I could run explorer (or a version of it?) by going to the old control panel and file browsing from there. Basically, everything was working bar not being able to get the desktop running. The ISO link is for an older version of Windows than the one I'm running. I can pause updates for a week, but thats not fun in the long run. The only thing I haven't managed to do is run the Feedback Hub in this mode to report and show the errors.- DeletedDec 20, 2022
Thank you for the information.
Optional diagnostic data helps improve Windows, it's automatically passed so even the Feedback Hub app doesn't have to work, and Microsoft has real-time error information.
