Windows 11 hangs on welcome screen

[evasion]

just tested latest Win10 education, created MDt deployment sequence and was happy to see imaging complete as fast as Windows 10.

Logged in no problems, and pulled latest updates. There were only 3 and after reboot no more logins.

Domain login just hangs on welcome screen (preparing windows please wait...) and local admin can log in to desktop but no working menu with tiles as on first login before updates.

One of them was servicing stack which cannot be removed.

I did not bother trying to remove other updates to see which one broke desktop so I re-imaged the computer with Windows 10 so it can be used for other testing purposes.

So, not really rushing to roll out this deployment, at least until these glitches are ironed out.

 

Previous attempt with first release on October 5th also broke desktop after couple of updates landed.

 

 

I have seen some posts re broken taskbar dated in October and was hoping such updates have been removed but it seems not.

Yeah, it's really not ready. Clearly a rushed release for the peak shopping season.
