Update broke Windows 11

by doniel . Updated 3 years, 3 months ago

Windows installed an update today and rebooted. When it came back up, I was greeted by a black screen. Strangely, one startup program was displayed. And when I invoked Task Manager, it showed me that all my programs were up and running.
I rebooted and chose the option to uninstall the latest update, but the geniuses at Microsoft reupdated me when I rebooted to Windows. The same thing happened when I did a system restore.
I disconnected from the Internet and did a restore from a backup of two days ago. To my astonishment, the black screen persisted. That one I can’t figure out at all.
Whatever options are open to me are limited, since I can’t do anything within Windows 11, as I can’t see anything.
Short of doing a clean install, is there anything I can do?
If not, I’d do the install from 22H2 version I downloaded from Microsoft. Since I’d be installing from my Windows 10 drive to a different physical drive, what do I need to do to make sure the installation asks me where I want to install to?
