I enjoyed Windows 11 pro for a while. However, on Nov 5, I upgraded to Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Build 22494 Prerelease 211029-1421; then the Start Menu is missing.
After searching for all websites to learn about fixing the issues. including running "reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft....", "DISM /online / cleanup-image /restorehealth", "sfc /scannow'. Unfortunately, none of those efforts work.
Many of the Window+I, +K, +X , etc. are not working neither
Then I tried to go to settings. But the error message came back as attached.
What can I do to uninstall the latest update to get the computer back to functioning again?
Will highly appreciate the help from the tech community. Many thanks in advance!

I had this bug around the 3rd or 4th insider preview of W11, and it didn't fix itself until maybe last month. I'm not quite sure what causes it, but a temporary solution for me was to restart explorer until the taskbar came back (i had better luck restarting the explorer process ~10 minutes from boot) . From there, you can open settings with a key combo (in my experience, while the taskbar worked again, the start menu did not, but your results here may vary) and uninstall the updates how you normally would.
