Hp Pavilion Aero
Microsoft Windows 11

So... here's one I've not encountered before.

Sitting at a local B&N. I've had this laptop less than 48 hours.

HP Pavilion Aero (Ryzen 5, 16gb, 256gb SSD)

Win 11 Home 22h2

All of the apps pinned to my taskbar (File Explorer, Firefox, etc) tell me the "the item has been moved or deleted". Weird, but I can open them from the start menu...

Then OneDrive tells me to sign back in.

I look, and I have been completely signed out of my microsoft account on my PC.

AutoDarkMode crashes. I quit from systray, and try to reopen it from the start menu.

Doesn't reopen.

Uninstall it.

Go to MS Store to reinstall it. Store tells me it's already installed.

Try to uninstall it from the settings menu. Tells me the Uninstaller.exe file is missing.

Go to open Discord, to respond to a message. Discord has disappeared from the start menu.

Doesn't show up in search (Win+S) or Powertoys Run (Alt+Spacebar)

Go to open event viewer from start. All of the windows system apps (Accessories / system, etc) are missing from the start menu "All Apps"...

iCloud keeps asking me to log in, and Firefox AND Edge reset themselves to OOBE states. 

**bleep** just happened to my PC?

Nothing in event viewer to indicate anything odd happened.
