I think a windows update just killed an entire partition?
What the fuck, Microsoft?

Random executables are... gone.
What the fuck?

Kaspersky Rescue Disk time
trying to find a blank DVD was Fun

I finally had some Do left
Now this bullshit

KRD found nothing, which is sort of what I was expecting, since the razor says that if Shit Is Fucked after a windows update, it's probably the windows update.

Which... is also Fishy, since looking at the windows update history, there's... no update for today.

But it was there.

And the "About this PC" page says "Version 22H2 Installed on 01/05/2024 Build 19045.4291"
Which maps to KB5036892

But now windows update is asking to install updates from 2023?
Also basic stuff seems to be missing?

So
What the fuck, Microsoft?

The stupid fucking built-in taskbar search runs edge to find stuff through bing isn't working
the edge executable is missing
I run sfc /scannow
Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations

*confused dog noises*

Let's see what a "cloud reset" does

If this fails, next step: Fresh ISO install

is download very very slowly

I now have a sort of almost clean windows again?
With some of my old (root drive) files?
But not all?

Guess I'll start reinstalling everything.

Because you never fucking know

Will this have fucked me over by making it so I can only get the VS2022 that breaks Unreal Engine compilation now, with no rollback?

I guess I could try the preview, but still...
bleh.
