    The best option then is to perform an in-place repair with the Windows 11 ISO to stabilize your Windows installation.

    Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Windows 11 ISO

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.

    Thank you for that information

    That UXThemePatcher utility causes many problems in Windows 11, the best first option to try is to perform a System Restore to a date prior to installing that utility.

    Click the power button on your Start menu.

    Press the Shift Key and click Restart

    Your PC will boot into the Windows Recovery Environment

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore

    Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to
