we have to wait for solution from microsoft
This just started for me right now.Taskbar is blank and exlorer.exe is not respnding even after mulitple retarts. Cursor over the taskbar show busy pointer. If I right click the taskbat the screen flashes white. I can't use the computer at all! What now?
It's like a floodgate just opened up. Seems like this previously isolated issue is happening to everyone now. techlauren and everyone just in reading this, save yourself a lot of time and headaches and try to do a soft reset through the settings app (If you can get to it). You might just have to use the Windows 11 ISO; If you do, make sure to use the BETA Channel. It is more stable. You could always try to use a Windows 10 ISO to downgrade, but I have no idea if that will keep your personal files. Of course, if this computer you upgraded on has nothing of value on it, wipe away! The "clean-install" edition (Lol) of Windows 11 is very smooth and stable (So far).
NOTE: If you have programs installed, they will get wiped by any type of reset. You can try to get a software like GeekUninstaller installed to make a file list of all the currently installed programs for reference after the great wipe. If you choose to keep your personal files, they will be kept safe, but as always, it's better to be safe with a backup than sorry in case Windows screws up again.

- Beta is forbidden. ISO says you need to be an insider member.
- What exactly does this program do? I installed it but dont want to run it incase it deletes things I wont want deleted.
- Which program?
- Windows 11 x64 Beta Channel ISO (Direct download). ya, let me know what the update does for ya. I went to updates and it automatically started to update and I paused it not knowing if it was the same update or a update for the messed up update
- I would gladly download the ISO and use Rufus to make a Boot drive. But since windows Explorer refuses to work. I cant. I cant even see what is on my USB!! 🙂 lol
- Any chance there is another computer you could use? Or maybe a phone with an OTG/ charging port to USB dongle?
- You can you a Android phone and task manager. That's how I'm doing it right now.
- Thank you, I was just searching for the windows 11 iso to try and repair my PC.
ThijsL202 I had to do a system restore back the 28th of last month and now everything works. I think the most recent update is KB5006050 which is what messed it all up
- Well.... it looks like my system wants to update to KB5006050. I'll restart & update and let you know if that's it for sure lol. I'm on version 21H2 (22000.168) right now.
- I gotcha man. Let us know if the ISO repair woks!
