I'm much more prone to working with a busted Windows installation these days rather than just reinstalling because of what a nightmare it is hammering Windows 10/11 into usable shape. With Windows 7, it was just install, ungroup taskbar icons, show hidden files and file extensions, set accent color to black and turn off transparency, then go down the list of installers in my software folder.
With Windows 11, fuck, I don't even remember all the esoteric damn steps I have to do. I'm going to have to write it down the next time I have to do it.
If you go down a list of installers you might want to give Ninite a shot!
Win11 has winget build in. It let you update all installed programs in batch. There is also chocolatey or scoop.
For those who don't like command line, there is WingetUI: https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI
