Windows 11 Pro Ryzen 7 3800X Asus Strix X470-F Motherboard 64Gb Corsair Vengence Pro RAM Asus TUF RTX 3080 XPG SX8100 NVMe Boot Drive HX1000 PSU Ok, give me a sec to explain: I arrived from 2 days away from home. When I left the PC was on, when I arrived the PC was off and we did not lose power while I was gone. I tried starting the computer, and it stayed stuck on the Bios Splash screen, without the option to go into the bios. Unplugged the PC and started it again, it went up to the windows login screen was frozen there for 2-3 minutes. During that time I noticed the internet did not connect before it froze (probably unrelated) even though I am using wired internet. It unfroze and the internet connection appeared at the same time. Then I clicked to write my pin and the computer blue-screened. I unplugged the PC tried again and got a very similar result . So I remembered last time I had issues was because my GPU was not plugged properly (I am using a riser) and looking into my PC I saw a Network card I had put in, that I was not using. I thought, this network card might be confusing things and I don't use it so lets just remove it. 4. I started up the computer again and it started up really quickly. (almost as if it was new), but my when logged in to windows everything was back to default. None of my stuff on the desktop, background back to default, windows button moved back to the middle, startup apps back to default, I was logged out of my browser and from outlook. But when I checked, all my programs and apps are still installed. 5. I restarted the computer once more, it started up at a normal speed and everything was back to normal. I just do not understand what happened.

Windows was updated because you left it unattended, which isn't recommended. The changes you made—like rearranging the buttons—were simply reinstated to their normal state, which is typical. No data was lost; everything returned to its default condition. It didn't reinstall itself, just refreshed and ensured smooth operation from Microsoft's side. From their view, that’s all they can say. You might want to use a stronger tool next time to prevent this in the future.

24h2 update is available. Is there a recent Windows.old folder or is your user profile file damaged?
