So I got the windows 11 recently, 2 days ago i was told to update my laptop.
I did that and now my laptop isn't really showing anything much on the display/desktop....it just has chrome, Microsoft edge and the recycle bin. At the bottom of the screen there's no apps, there isn't the window icon either.
I really don't know what happened after the update. How can a fix it? or, How can I uninstall windows 11?
product name- HP 14-dk1000 Laptop PC (8VZ02AV)

This happened to me a few days ago. Was rally strange. It was an update that required a reboot or two.
If you do not want to reboot then press CTRL-ALT-DEL and select Tasks Manager
select "run an app"
enter explorer in the box
put an {X} in for administrator
press return and wait it out
Worked for me.
