Windows 11 23H2 upgrade broke File Explorer, it will not run

Good news!

Problem seems to be fixed by 2023-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5032190) update released 11/14 that I installed on 11/15. In the Knowledge Base notes is the following under File Explorer:

• This update addresses an issue that stops File Explorer from opening.
  

It worked for me, no longer have any problems, no need to re-install (somehow I couldn't roll back 23H2 update and had no recovery point before that time).

 

Windows Cumulative Updates failing to install

I'm having a large number of failures installing the December and now the January Cumulative updates for Widows 11 22H2 and 23H2. The specific updates are:
.
MS23-DEC: Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 - Windows 11 Version 22H2 - KB5033375 (x64)

MS23-DEC: Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 - Windows 11 Version 23H2 - KB5033375 (x64)

and

MS24-JAN: Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 - Windows 11 Version 23H2 - KB5034123 (x64)

MS24-JAN: Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 - Windows 11 Version 22H2 - KB5034123 (x64)
.

I have followed the instructions detailed by David-M in this post: Windows Update failing to install - Microsoft Community and others with similiar steps, none of the steps have succeeded. I have tried using Windows Update locally, pushing the updates from our asset management software and even downloaded the specific CU locally, and running the installer/update. Regardless of the method, the install universally fails with: "Install error - 0x800f081f"

On the 22H2 systems I have also tried upgrading to 23H2 and generally speaking those fail as well. Does anyone have a similar experience and found a way through this?

 

Cannot install Windows 11 23H2

If your system runs 22H2 and is up-to-date, you can install the tiny enablement package to upgrade to 23H2 quickly.
