Almost Dead pc after win 11 install

Copper Contributor

– I installed Windows 11, received a fleeting message about Start is Back not being compatible with Windows 11 (but no opportunity to do anything), and then after installation was complete I got a screen without any icons on the taskbar. The only Windows program I can run is Task manager.

 

How can I remove Windows 11 and get my working windows 10 installation back?

If you hold "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" you should get the system options screen up.
THen if you click on the power icon in the lower right you will get options to restart/shutdown/etc

HOLD SHIFT and click on RESTART, this will then reboot you to the maintenance options. From here you can go to trouble shooting and enable you to uninstall the update.
Hope that helps.
