Windows 10: Windows 11 flashing screen and no menu bar after login

So I had this too. I had run upgrade installer to move from Win 21H to 22H.All seemed to go until I logged on and the screen then stuck in a loop flashing every second or so occasiionally I could see the back ground but mostly it was white with a littel spinning blue circle.Mostly nothing worked - no access to removing windows update etc.eventuall I got an elevated CMD screen open and deleted the Windows updates that had been installedOne of the following 3, probably the last one, was the culpritKB 5029782; KB 5012170; KB 5030217see, for example, https://www.windowslatest.com/2021/04/23/how-t

Windows 11 flashing screen and no menu bar after login

This computer is fairly new. It was working for several weeks. Multiple folks have access but none should have changed any settings. About a week ago, we lost the ability to login.

We reboot the computer. The login screen comes up with an account. We enter the password.. It shows 'Welcome' and updates for a few seconds. After that the screen flickers black and gray. After a minute, some icons appear on the screen. Sometimes as white boxes and other times with the icon image. The menu bar never shows up..

Control-alt-delete works and brings up the Task Manager but it constantly reloads. Very difficult to get it to do anything.

I can send a video if anyone needs that.

 

Windows 9 start menu in action

The only real usage issues with Windows 8/8.1 are the Start screen and Charms bar. Luckily they're doing away with the Charms bar and they've brought back the traditional Start menu, but with tiles.

I liked the tiles, but the fact that it needed a whole screen was not very productive unlike Windows 7.

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?
