Rant about 24H2

Microsoft is really grinding my gears. I have a Framework 13 AMD running Windows 11. It runs pretty well until Microsoft tries to install 24H2. So far I have had 24H2 installed twice. Once by choice and the second earlier this week when it was forced install on me. Both times it has broken my Windows, my taskbar and start menu vanish and I can’t get them to run in any form, even when running explorer.exe manually.

And then video playback is broken, I cannot watch any video in Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Brave or VLC.

How did Microsoft release this POS???

I am rolling back to 23H2 and seriously considering wiping my Windows install and installing Linux.
