Windows 11 Windows Explorer issue

I updated windows 11 and when my pc restarted, my taskbar was completely blank and I can't open my start menu or file explorer. I can't even use the windows key + i shortcut to go back a version. Windows key doesn't work at all. No start menu button either

 

 

 

  • Ok, I found a solution. I went to troubleshooting by holding shift as I restart my PC. Then I go to troubleshooting and advanced settings and hit uninstall recent update. Then I hit uninstall latest feature update. That brought me back to Windows 10

    Same issue here, just updated. I also get an error for explorer.exe "File system error (-2147219200)." after waiting a bit.

      I face same issue. Does it cause any further issue to the computer? Could any one help to fix it?

    Yes this happened to 2 of my laptops that I just updated today. No Start or taskbar, I have to use my task manager and run the shell:appsfolder task to attempt accessing files and opening programs. Can’t even open up settings either. I’m considering downloading a windows 11 iso using another computer and reinstalling the .132 build.
