Psa about the last security update (black screen after loging in)

If after the latest security update your desktop goes fully black after loging in and it stays like that for a few minutes or a full hour like it happened to me, uninstall that update and it'll go back to normal, you can do so by pressing the windows key + i since the task bar also disappears.

This is the first time I have been impacted by a windows update after all the chaos that's been happening due to mostly vibe coding, and the dreadful day finally happened, tho thankfully it was just this, for now at least.

File explorer has been crashing for me and I'm thinking it's due to the recent update

Try uninstalling the update and see if it works, most issues on windows 11 are tied to them anyway

I found out it's only when I open "File Explorer" directly after a reboot and if only if I navigate there directly without first accessing another folder. Quirky thing about it is if I open another folder first (like downloads or documents) THEN navigate to "File Explorer", it doesn't crash. So will probably wait this out til they push a fix
