This morning, on two computers that had KB5065426 done overnight, my search menu is messed up, now looking like:

1789648326469.webp
I'm not saying that the update caused it, but for all my time on Windows 11, including yesterday before the update, the menu, in addition to having a list of recent apps down the left side, had (I think) six pinned "top app" icons, that were very handy go-tos, versus having those apps pinned to the taskbar.

What happened? How can I fix the start menu so it shows the top apps?
