Windows security update bricks windows

[neocon]

Windows 11 completely bricked. The screen desktop loads but then no application will launch, not even task manager.

So I've done uninstall latest quality update.

This fixed the issue but then windows added it back after the next restart.

Now it won't even let me uninstall it.

I've never had this before, it's really incredibly poor.

Can you get in to safe mode and uninstall it that way and then disable the Windows update service?

Do you have Outlook installed?
My impression is that people that that have certain MS software installed, experience these severe issues.
I only use Win 11 for gaming, nothing else.

It was literally like a gaming install so it only had like Steam and epic games on there.
I ended up choosing reset PC within that troubleshoot startup screen. Just testing now to see if the Windows updates apply without causing any issues.
