I installed an update yesterday (KB5035853) to Win 11 23H2 and suddenly stuff is broken:
* Windows won't let me go to shell:appdata in Explorer
* Windows doesn't recognise my headset mic any more
There are probably other things I haven't discovered yet -- it's only been a few hours...
To fix the headset problem, I tried reinstalling the driver (latest Realtek, 6.0.9384.1), and when that didn't work, went to install the Realtek Audio Console, but MS store says "there was a problem at our end".
I went to Windows Update to roll back the update, but "Go back" is greyed out and says "This option is no longer available on this PC".
How the hell do I undo the damage the Microsoft's latest brainfart has done to my system?
