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.

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
- RyanTech_LLCSep 02, 2021Brass ContributorWell.... 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.
- ThijsL202Sep 02, 2021Brass ContributorThanks that's some good information.
- Xvenom82Sep 02, 2021Brass ContributorOnly thing is that everything was messing up on me besides the taskbar. I couldnt get into any of my personal settings, display settings, some programs wasnt wanting to even load, entire computer was super slow, chrome wouldnt even work. Its like the new update completely crashed my entire system
- RyanTech_LLCSep 02, 2021Brass ContributorI gotcha man. Let us know if the ISO repair woks!
