windows 11 startup messed up by latest cumulative update

Hi,
trying to get some help here since MS helpdesk was not able to

I am running windows 11 pro 64bit
a few days ago, got a pushy notification for a cumulative install
let it run/restart and then can't log in anymore
- I took my pc from MS account ( probably a mistake), but the issue here is that does not recognize the pin or password for the MS account. It shows wi-fi connection, and tried with ethernet cable and from phone hotspot, it sees the network and I can change it, but then wafter typing pswrd says it can't find a connection

Dell repairs says there is an issue with a partition, but code provided is wrong ( can't find it on Dell database) - and can't fix it

- the most insane part is that it's not connecting to any network, BUT when using Dell built-in repair tools, it actually transmits and receives data.
so, maybe it's an issue with networks settings...?
any ideas to fix this?
Thanks

    Uninstall the problematic update and repair the system image using DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
